+1 to more visibility to books focused on lucene on "official" www

pages (not just hte wiki)
+1 to prominent display via a section on the main page like wicket
currently has, with links to more info on each book (those links could
easily go to wiki pages if we don't want to have to maintain the full
detail pages in forrest) .. the News section is too long/outdated
anwyay,
so shortening it up to help make books more visible is a good thing.

site changes are commits, they (will) happen because someone submits a
patch and someone (possibly the same person) commits. if no on
thinks a
book is worth promoting, no one will submit a patch. if someone does
submit a patch, but the community concessus is that a book is bad and
shouldn't be mentioned on the site, then the patch won't get
committed (or
will get rolled back if the concensus is retroactive).
If each book links to a wiki page then people can be free to write
whatever comments/opinions about books they want, even if there
isn't a
clear community concensus to withhold a book from the site.

What about the JP and DE books listed on the Resource page? from
what i
can tell, they seem to be focused entirely on Lucene. (if the goal
is to
promote Lucene books to promote Lucene adoption we shouldn't be
exclusive
to English langauge books just because english is currently the LCD
of hte
community)
Personal bias noted - I support putting it on the home page, and
also news
blurbs when there is activity, like when it goes to print and is
available in
hardcopy.
(FWIW: i have no bias here, but i still concur)
