ROpenSci maintains several task views using GitHub. GitHub topics are useful to “tag” repositories. The currently used tag task-view however is not very clear. I already encouraged others to use it, but wanted to ask here if you’d be open to go for another term that is more explicit, e.g.
cran-ctv, cran-task-view, or r-task-view (since not all repos are “on” CRAN)

Good question/comment.
I’m not sure that I’d support replacing task-view with ctv-task-view or cran-task-view since not all our task views are on CRAN - and some may never go there (due to not being accepted or other reasons).
I’d be more willing to support r-task-view so that it encompasses both on and off CRAN
I’m finde with r-task-view (you may still use cran-task-view if you’re on cran…).
I just found out that with the extended search syntax you can actually combine multiple topics, e.g. https://github.com/search?utf8=✓&q=topic%3Atask-view+topic%3Acran&type=
I would still prefer r-task-view because it works with the simple URL https://github.com/topics/r-task-view.
I’ve contacted some people before I had the idea to ask here, since the question is still recent I see no problem in asking them again, just keeping a list here:
If we do this, it would be great to announce this somehow, maybe via the ROpenSci Twitter account?
