摘要：Time to say good-bye . . . with the new system of rolling three-year periods of office for the members of the Editorial Board, my term comes to an end on Dec 31, with Doug Bates joining the board in 2003, and Fritz Leisch taking over as Editor-in-Chief. Having started R News from scratch together with Fritz, I am of course very content with what we have achieved thus far. And that does not change when comparing our initial intentions, as stated in the editorial of the first (January 2001) issue of R News, to the present state. Both quality and quantity of the material published in the past two years confirm the success of this newsletter in filling the gap between mailing lists and scientific journals. (The first issue also mentions the idea of having a regular column on “Applications”. Guess that’s what’s usually called “work in progress.”)
