Hi Elizabeth; thanks for your mail, and for volunteering - should we put
further reading on a single page in the main site (possibly easier to
find), or put it in the reference guide to each lesson (so that Python
stuff is in the Python lesson)? And would anyone else like to volunteer
to help curate material on other topics?
Cheers,
Greg

As a python user group leader and when I run workshops, I deal mostly
with beginners, particularly from humanities and social sciences. I
found it helpful to list off resources in a "study guide" format so
students could follow along rather than just work through a book. I
don't really like just pushing a book onto people because it isn't
always the best way some people learn. I also reordered some of the
lessons because I disagreed a bit with things.
I put together a mashup study guide of a variety of resources for
Python and put it up here:
http://elizabethwickes.com/guided-self-study-lesson-plan/ I know
several people who have worked through it and I've used it as a
syllabus for a multi-week workshop.
Greg, I can volunteer to help out with this. I can't speak to all the
domains that SWC and DC work with, but I have a lot of opinions about
having just presenting people with a wall of books.

Hi everyone,
I think some recommended readings and links to places to look for
next steps would be very useful - the question is, who will
maintain it? (http://software-carpentry.org/bib/reading.html was
always meant to be a community resource, but we only ever had a
couple of contributions once I set it up.) If someone would like
to volunteer to be a "readings and links" maintainer, similar to
the lesson maintainers who oversee our lessons, that would be a
great way to contribute.
Cheers,
Greg
