I agree, so long as we're careful to avoid all the huge drama that could arise from trying to come up with "official" community judgements on the quality of books produced by members of our community. In practice I guess this means that we err on the side of inclusion, where all a book would need is one person who likes it, with no voting or vetoes possible. But that seems like a fine system - there are plenty of places to get more fine-gained recommendations. >> 2) whether or not to accept "Sponsored by" links on the home page for donations to the project (e.g. Continuum Analytics has sponsored Ondrej release management, other companies have sponsored pull requests, other companies may want to provide donations and we would want to recognize their contributions to the numpy project). > > > +1 for putting this on the main page.
