<p>Questions about R packages are off-topic on SO, and since programming questions are off-topic on CV, <em>a fortiori</em> packages questions, which are about programming (in R) are off-topic on CV. That's why I always ask questions on algorithms (on SO), even if I often would much rather be pointed to a package. However, learning about packages is an integral part of doing statistics with R. Is there somewhere on Stack Exchange where I can ask question about which R package to use for a specific statistical inference problem? If not, as you guys are statistical experts, and many of you use/have used R, where do you go when you need advice about packages? Other than the R-help mailing list.</p>
