[R] New R website: R-Cookbook.com

[Jeff Spies]

Hadley,

This was something I forgot to change before making the site public.   
Thanks for pointing out the creative commons license--it's definitely  
what I was thinking: share-alike content.

I'd be glad to hear any other suggestions you might have,

Jeff.
