I just want to check and see if it is permitted to make direct contact with users who request a package that I developed on their behalf?
Specifically, I have just completed a beta version of the Apriori data miner a user requested, and I thought it would be nice to get it to them before approval. Based on the number of packages I have in queue, it would probably be months before they where able to get it from the site. This particular user has responded to clarification requests, so I know there is a real interest.
