I have been compiling watching discord channel and meeting voice chat and attempting to collect the informational articles/background reading that comes up, getting clean copies of the pieces, and collecting bibliographic info in a couple files & directories. The incipient repository/library is here:
https://cryptpad.fr/drive/#/2/drive/view/EnwASAtn1ZwLLm1vH9VsOvu4LrXkCfYebP0PBJ4r16s/
Is this a useful thing to do? I feel like as time goes on links to info people are interested in will become diffuse across many threads and sites. What kind of information should be included and how best to tag and store it?

Consider making a post via the admin dashboard, you can update it periodically. I can link this post on the resources page. You could also make a forum topic requesting suggestions for articles and add ones you think are good. You can also upload PDFs to the site and link those files in posts, depending on how large they are.
@jbputhoff yeah that's great, thought for adding it the resource page I'd probably want to put it into a different format.
@casperadmin Can you please describe briefly the format you think would be best? Less like a conversational post and more like a project home page?
@jbputhoff I would just make a post that contains the links, maybe with a brief description.
@jbputhoff I sent you a pm about it
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics has some potentially interesting/relevant data:
