+## Helping (Not Cheating)
+
+While [cheatsheets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheat_sheet) may have started as a set of notes used without an instructor’s knowledge&mdash;so, ummm, cheating&mdash;using the Arrow for R cheatsheet is definitely not cheating! Today, cheatsheets are a common tool to provide users an introduction to software’s functionality and a quick reference guide to help users get started.

+The Arrow for R cheatsheet was initiated by Mauricio (Pachá) Vargas Sepúlveda ([ARROW-13616](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13616)) and was co-developed and reviewed by many Apache Arrow community members. The cheatsheet was created by the community for the community, and anyone in the Arrow community is welcome and encouraged to help with maintenance and offer improvements. Thank you for your support!
