You bring up a good point... Why does this list exist? It existed prior to the fantastic take off of the stack exchange platform and so we should consider the modern purpose of this list. Thank you for pointing out this mis-match of purposes.
I will start a separate thread to discuss the purpose of this list and ways to better curate its content, ways to steer people to the best resources, and how we can publicize that. This was very useful feedback upon consideration. On Mar 9, 2014 12:31 PM, "Mikkel Petersen" <mlp2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Why do this list even exists then ?
