The idea of adding value to existing materials by listing them in carpentries-branded locations is really helpful. I'd encourage folks to think about including machine-readable versions of such data as well. Some minimal metadata can go a long way to making resources more useful, not just to end users, but also to the carpentries. I'm thinking something as simple as a CSV file. Such a file could even serve as material for a Carpentries lesson!
