  • That the material can be legally shared on this list and reused by the list users.
  • The material must primarily be in English, but resources in French are welcome too.

add resource-name

Please, add one pull request per new resource you wish to add to the list. In your pull request, please put the material’s URL into the description, it is easier to review it.
