That is the best idea. Link to the resource page, and where possible give an internal reference, ie see [123] chapter 2

But I wouldn't want to silo them out and reduce internal discoverability. Perhaps just one page with sections and anchor links that the individual lessons can link to?

And would anyone else like to volunteer to help curate material on other topics?

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/> 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.

(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.
