[R] R in Industry

The other day, CNN had a story on working at Google. Out of curiosity, I
went to the Google employment web site (I'm not looking, but just
curious). In perusing their job posts for statisticians, preference is
given to those who use R and python. Other languages, S-Plus and
something called SAS were listed as lower priorities.

When I started using Python, I noted they have a portion of the web site
with job postings. CRAN does not have something similar, but think it
might be useful. I think R is becoming more widely used in industry and
I wonder if helping it move along a bit, the maintainer of CRAN could
create a section of the web site devoted to jobs where R is a
requirement.

Hence, we could have our own little "monster.com" kind of thing going
on. Of the multitude of ways the gospel can be spread, this is small.
But, I think every small step forward is good.

Anyone think this is useful?

Harold
