>>There has been discussion on how to collect R usage statistics before and the discussion has led to some good results such as http://neolab.stat.ucla.edu/cranstats/ and http://crantastic.org/. Recently, I tried to put together a package that allows R users to rate, comment, and ask questions on R packages within R. A working version is now available on both github and r-forge. Note that the email feature may not work out as expected because gmail, used by the package, only allows 500 messages sent per day.
