Add resources page

[vsoch]

We need a place to put useful links (resources) (under the "Resources" tab? I assume), as discussed in the call today. It might be good to start with contributions here / slack for examples to clarify what a resource is.

Agreed. I think eventually we could have sub categories by intended audience/purpose

Here are some links (that contain content) off the top of my head that might be useful to practicing or aspiring RSEs. Basically I see this as supporting Research Software Engineering, something that RSEs obviously do:

1. https://bssw.io/
2. https://ideas-productivity.org/ (more specifically: https://ideas-productivity.org/resources/howtos/ and https://ideas-productivity.org/events/hpc-best-practices-webinars/)
3. https://se4science.org/
4. https://scicomp.stackexchange.com/

And this came up in the call: https://www.computer.org/education/bodies-of-knowledge/software-engineering.

Should they come with an explanation? And how specific should it get? Should it get to the level of domain specific information, for example, bioinformatics links?

I also think it would be good to have resources for establishing RSE positions, groups, etc. So things like @vsoch's nice "what's an RSE" and RSE starter pack. I think having case studies on individuals, and guidelines on how to set up a group (https://rse.ac.uk/resources/how-to-start-an-rse-group/) would be good.

I like @cosden 's list as a start. A few thoughts:

• We should distinguish between resources we provide vs. links to other sites of interest. The latter should probably go on a "useful links" page, under the "Resources" drop-down menu. The former should be part of other pages we create (e.g., the "Starting a Group" page).

• A title, and maybe a one-line explanation in some cases, ought to be sufficient.

• We probably shouldn't go too deep into domain-specific information, but a link or two per field could be useful. Ideally different fields would have their own sites and we could provide links to those, but that might be down the road a bit.

hey I'll chime in and get us started on this tomorrow! I got too obsessed with the rse-phenotype generator today to notice anything else in the world, rofl. Looking forward to this!!

Working on this now!

How do you guys feel about having it be required to give personal information to download? https://www.computer.org/education/bodies-of-knowledge/software-engineering/v3 I call sketchy.
