@rsbivand what do you think about the following statement? Do you have any suggestions on how to improve it? what do you think about adding it to the repo's README?
We encourage the packages authors to follow minimum standards for their package to be included in the Spatial CRAN Task View:
- The package must be related to spatial data reading/writing, handling, processing, or analyzing
- The package should be actively maintained
- The package should have extended documentation in the form of a vignette, blog post, scientific article, technical report, or video. In other words, there should be a way for new users to get started with using the package

Sorry for delay; yes, this looks fine. Perhaps a final sub-point: Packages already listed, but without extended documentation are encouraged to add more documentation in a forthcoming revision of the package.
