The primary goal of civitas is to provide the R for Data Science Community (#R4DS) an access point for collaborative development of R packages.  It is intended to be open to all experience levels of useRs and provide a safe and inclusive space to learn the ins an outs of pacakge development.  

It's secondary goals is to provide useful functions to current and future learners to assist them in all of the topics and areas covered by R4DS and the `tidyverse`.

This is an extremely new initative, and will be in a incubative state for some time.
