Collaboration Request:
- 🟡 PLEASE ADD COMMENTS: This is a call for the best resources to collaboratively build the list, inspired by vickis normcore-list
- 🟡 STATUS: This is a v0 skeleton starting point to kickstart learning forcing function.
- 🟡 TODO: Many links are currently empty (this was a first pass v0 w chatGPT - did pretty decent tbh, pulled in live links w ease). This skeleton is to start the collaboration.
- Relevance: Ensure contributions are relevant to DeepTech hardware.
- Quality: Provide links to reputable sources with concise explanations.
- Citation: Include credible sources for all contributions.
- Collaboration: Use a shared platform (e.g., GitHub, Google Docs) for collaboration.
- Feedback: Encourage feedback and peer review to maintain quality.
- Regular Audits: Periodically check for broken or outdated links.
- Prompt Updates: Replace broken links with active, relevant resources.
- Community Engagement: Leverage community knowledge for alternative resources.
- Maintain the list in Markdown for readability and version control.
- Each entry should include a brief description and a link to the resource.
