Heather Turner

Please tell us a bit about yourself, following the template below:

Name: Heather Turner
Country I am currently in: UK
Something we could do or discuss together today:

Name: gwynn gebeyehu
Country I am currently in: USA
Something we could do or discuss together today:

gwynn is up to Algorithms section in CS50 C material, taking time to work on harder problems, such as Tideman problem in Problem Set 3.

Review the status of the issue Prepare unequal sampling probability code for inclusion in base R that gwynn and Heather worked on with Thomas Lumley at the R Dev Day after posit::conf.

Checked that gwynn has access to Heather's fork of the r-svn GitHub repo, where we can collaborate on a patch.
Reviewed gwynn's changes to sample.Rd, made some minor edits and committed.
Re-familiarised ourselves with the code developed by Ahmadou Dicko in sondage package
- Need to write notes so we don't have to do this each time we come back to it! [Notes started here: https://hackmd.io/@hturner/ryoM3dZaR/edit]
Thomas has added note to issue that C code will need to be called with .Internal and then register the C functions in src/main/names.c. He says it would be tider to move more of sample_pps() to C so that only one new C function needs to be added.
- Perhaps add code as is (as close as possible) in the first place, so we can get a working version before refactoring.
