@Lluis_Revilla @Mehrad @klmr @coolbutuseless There is already a docstring package for R that allows you to use roxygen2 style documentation in standalone functions: https://cran.r-project.org/package=docstring

@rOpenSci @steffilazerte @rstats This looks really handy, thanks for sharing! I used rtoot just recently to start semi-automating some community management tasks and planned to investigate scheduling the next time.

Maybe GitHub issue templates would help to avoid some of the fragility you mention?

In my case, I would look to combine with R functions to create the issues.

@steffilazerte @rOpenSci @rstats Ah yes, time zones, the bane of global community management! I just saved this to watch later: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hXlthOM8KUE.

In case it helps, here are the functions I have written so far on my automating journey: https://github.com/r-devel/rcontribution/tree/main/admin - I’ve only used once, but already the README one corrected a time zone issue caused by a manual edit.
