I have been hoping to revamp the bookdown.org homepage but haven't found time to do it. At the moment, it is just a horribly long list of books, which I absolutely don't like. I want to use blogdown to rebuild it, and I want to achieve at least three goals:
-
Provide a way for readers to subscribe to changes. Obviously it should provide an RSS feed. For example, every time a book is updated, we can create a new post.
-
Organize books by categories and/or tags.
-
Book authors can submit pull requests to add or update the summary of their books in the list.
Currently the homepage is manually updated. The process is quite laborious and I don't enjoy it.
If anyone is interested in helping me, please feel free to let me know. Thanks!
