The R community is diverse, with many individuals coming from unique professional backgrounds. This list includes academics, scientists, statisticians, business analysts and professional programmers, among others. CRAN, the comprehensive R Archive Network, maintains packages created by community members that reflect this colorful background. Packages exist to perform stock market analysis, create maps, engage in high-throughput genomic analysis and do natural language processing. This is only the tip of the iceberg; over 7000 packages are available on CRAN as of this writing. Additionally, R-Bloggers is a blog-aggregation site that serves as a hub for news related to the R community.
