Chapter 6 Acknowledgments

Much inspiration was provided by the participants in the Dataset Search discussion on the 2018 ROpenSci unconference issue tracker: Elin Waring, who opened the issue, Sam Albers, Mark Padgham, Noam Ross, and Ted Laderas.

The Datasets by package dashboard, a 2017 ROpenSci unconference project by Andy Teucher, Richie Cotton, Claudia Vitolo, Jakub Nowosad, and Joe Stachelek was helpful for finding datasets to add. More specifically, this csv file led me to add the following packages: abd, agridat, EnvStats, FSAdata, Lock5withR, mlbench

This bookdown project is very similar in nature. The main advantages of the current project are: 1) it is a curated list not produced by a bot, 2) the interface is more user-friendly, 3) it provides links to dataset help pages.
