Which site(s) is recommended?

Thanks in advance.

At www.r-project.org in the left column is a link to Mailing Lists -
this may be what you are looking for.

It may be what he is looking for, but it is not the correct strategy.
The r-help mailing list expects questioners to have "done their
homework". They offer an extensive set of documentation and rightfully
expect that persons will have worked through the tutorials and make an
effort to use the help pages _before_ posting questions. Links to the
documentation is here:

Basic docs (especially read and work through "Introduction to R" and the
Input/Output manuals):
<http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html>

More documentation:
<http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html>

I would in particular recommend: "An Introduction to R: Software for
Statistical Modelling & Computing" by Petra Kuhnert and Bill Venables:
<http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Kuhnert+Venables-R_Course_Notes.zip>

And he was already given a link to s-news two days ago. There may be
attentional concern. I realize that asking someone to read the manual
is "so last century", but that is what is expected.
