First: great initiative, I know a lot people (including me) that will love this! 🎉

My main suggestion, besides the inline comments, would be to rename it from "CRAN" to "R" as the former is an established institution maintaining a selected set of R packages.

They don't like when others say that they "publish a CRAN package" as this package hasn't undergone the same checks as a package did that got accepted at CRAN.

The main point (and overlap for users) is that these packages can be used with the install.packages() function in R.
Besides this, the repository/registry (synonyms here) serving the packages don't matter.

For example, Posit (one of the main companies pushing R development) builds and publishes binary packages for Linux based on the packages accepted at CRAN. Yet they don't say that they publish "CRAN packages" as only CRAN does this, they just build the binaries and serve R packages via a custom repository.

Hence my suggestion to use the term "CRAN-like" and use "R package registry" as the main name.

Disclaimer: I am involved in the R community for about 9 years and have developed several R packages myself and had quite some interactions with CRAN and package publishing in general.

SVG logo here needs some squaring.

[silverwind]

I see the cropping had no effect on the output image, so fine anyways. My request was to make the source image square, but it seems our SVGO setup already correctly squares the output image.

Just some minor suggestions from my side, otherwise LGTM!

Really looking forward to this one, this is great!

[pat-s]

Happy with that wording, thanks all for hearing me out ❤️

[silverwind]

BTW @KN4CK3R I just noticed my SVG squaring requests are bogus. This logo is square at the source (2400x2400), but GitHub renders it non-square. So it's a GitHub bug 😆.

@pat-s Is the block still relevant?
