rOpenSci published a blog post requesting feedback for a prototype of an organization-level dashboard for tracking the health and maintenance of an organization’s R packages. They’re still looking for feedback and suggestions, so please read and help out with your ideas! ropensci.org/blog/2025/09...

The secret in @masalmon.eu's excellent post on metrics for #rstats package usage is that R-Universe collects all these measures for you!
A screen shot of the metrics on the R-Universe page for the 'curl' package, showing metrics such as GitHub stars, package dependencies, number of GitHub scripts, package downloads, and academic citations.
