- Make sure your package title is in Title Case.
- Do not put a period on the end of your title
- Avoid starting the description with the package name or This package ...
- Make sure you include links to websites if you wrap a web API, scrape data from a site, etc. in the
Description
field of yourDESCRIPTION
file - Avoid long running tests and examples. Consider
testthat::skip_on_cran
in tests to skip things that take a long time but still test them locally and on Travis.
