The Community Team, alongside a group of regular data.table contributors, is very pleased to announce a new Seal of Approval program!
Our goal is to collect packages that significantly support, extend, or rely on data.table. We identify four broad categories of “sister” packages:
Extension packages: These add to the internal functionality of
data.tableobjects or functions.Application packages: These use
data.table, often “under the hood” to efficiently accomplish a particular task or analysis.Bridge packages: These translate
data.tablesyntax to different syntax, or provides helper functions for transitioning betweendata.tableand another object type.Partner packages: These are not necessarily directly connected to
data.table, but they consciously and deliberately are designed to follow the core philosophies ofdata.table.
Approved packages may be found on the data.table GitHub; and will also appear on this blog.
To submit a package for the Seal, please create a Pull Request on the Raft GitHub, making sure to follow all instructions carefully in the PR template.
(You need not be the author or maintainer of a package to submit it for approval, but you must notify the current maintainer if you do so.)
Oh, and if your package is approved - shoot us an email at rdatatable@gmail.com and we’ll send you a special, limited-edition Seal of Approval sticker!
