I shortly talked with Jip Porzak about it at useR (because he
previously approached me with the question about having such a list on
the "official" R web pages). My personal opinion is that such a
listing really belongs into the R Wiki, such that user groups can add
themselves. Of course it would be great if somebody could act as an
editor and have an eye on the page, and we could have a prominent link
to it from the R homepage.
