R-multiverse: a new way to publish R packages

R-multiverse is a new dual repository for R packages, based on infrastructure from R-universe and GitHub. We would like to invite the developer community to contribute packages.

With R-multiverse, users have a central place for installing packages. Automated quarterly production snapshots enforce quality.

Package maintainers retain most of the freedom and flexibility of self-publishing. Maintainers directly control package releases through GitHub or GitLab.

R-multiverse originated from the R Consortium Repositories Working Group. It has transparent governance, and it operates in a collaborative and open way.
