Contributions to the R-project

My major contribution to the R Community is R-Forge which offers a central platform for the development of R packages, R-related software and further projects. In addition to several web based features R-Forge offers a CRAN-style repository for hosting development releases of R packages as well as a quality management system similar to that of CRAN.

I maintain the CRAN task view Optimization and Mathematical Programming. This view contains a list of packages which offer facilities for solving optimization problems.

R packages which I maintain: Rglpk. Furthermore, I contributed code to package Rcplex.
