[BlindRUG] R Studio accessibility

Tue Mar 14 07:18:05 UTC 2017

I have just started to use R but I would love to help as much as
possible too. I think the first step should be R Consortium. They
might really help.  Block posts, social media campaigns etc. can be
other options.  <div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br />
