General task view improvements

[zeileis]

Format: We have converted the old XML-based task views file now to the new Markdown-based format. Please check the resulting .md file whether everything is in order or some corrections/improvements are needed. See the corresponding documentation for more details.

Update: This would also be a good time to check the entire task whether it is up to date and correct. A write-up of the general goals and content guidelines is now summarized in the workflow for proposing new task views (which was not yet available when you authored your task view). Improving your task view to conform more closely with these goals and guidelines, if necessary, would be highly appreciated.

Co-maintainers: In particular, we strongly encourage that all task views not only have a principal maintainer but also 1-5 co-maintainers in order to get more inspirations for extensions/improvements and share the maintenance workload. So please try to extend the list of co-maintainers, ideally also including female contributors and generally involving persons with diverse backgrounds.

Dear Achim,

I have checked TeachingStatistics.md and made some minor corrections. I will have a think about suitable co-maintainers and get back to you about this as soon as possible.

Best wishes, Paul

Paul, thanks for the follow-up. The minor improvements are much appreciated and I've turned your project "Public" now.

Regarding the co-maintainers: Sounds good, I'm very happy to provide feedback when you have some suggestions. Maybe someone from the MOSAIC or OpenIntro teams?

@paulnorthrop, is there any follow-up on this? Might be a good time to invite a few possible co-maintainers before the next semesters hits...

[paulnorthrop]

@zeileis Yes, absolutely. I invited someone a couple of weeks ago but I have not heard back yet. I expect that they will get back to me soon, but I will invite others asap.

Sounds good, thanks for the feedback!

Paul @paulnorthrop it would be good to have some follow-up on this...

Achim @Zeleis Apologies (again!) for being slow. Someone has kindly agreed to join me as a co-maintainer and I have (a few minutes ago) invited her on GitHub page. I think that I may have someone else lined up and will add them asap.
