I'm looking for a good teaching dataset to discuss long and wide format data. Any suggestions?

Calling all R and igraph enthusiasts!
FYI: there has been a bug noticed in the cluster_edge_betweenness code with the grep() action involved with selecting subgraphs for nodes. A new update has been pushed to CRAN and will be released in the coming days.
Reinstall from the main branch here for now: https://github.com/benyamindsmith/ig.degree.betweenness

I'll always remember my "soft landing" into package development when I first wrote a package that I published to CRAN.
My hope is that the person who commented has become a little kinder since this interaction. But I sure learned alot and learned that not all R devs lack tact.
The repo - which I've since made private is still around. Has also made me realize that a CRAN doesn't need to be the "end goal" for all your packages (while it is noble).
