-1 list of books etc. on website (binding, if committers are allowed to do that).
The list should be on the project wiki and not on the website. Even if we have the right intention, the website should ought not be seen as platform of promoting anything other than the materials published within Apache CloudStack, which means promoting anything which means books, goodies and things of that sort. What we can do is create a wiki on things about CloudStack, which we already have and in the education/how-to section add list of books related to CloudStack or cloud computing, but on the wiki and not on the website. Cheers.
