CRAN Task Views have been available on the Comprehensive R Archive Network
since 2005. They provide guidance about which CRAN packages are relevant for
tasks related to a certain topic, and can also facilitate automatic
installation of all corresponding packages. Motivated by challenges from the
growth of CRAN and the R community as a whole since 2005, all of the task views
infrastructure and workflows were rethought and relaunched in 2021/22 in order
to facilitate maintenance and to foster deeper interactions with the R
community. The redesign encompasses the establishment of a group of CRAN Task
View Editors, moving all task view sources to dedicated GitHub repositories,
adopting well-documented workflows with a code of conduct, and leveraging
R/Markdown files (rather than XML) for the content of the task views.
