Where to look

Two layers. A short list of sources members have used and annotated, and under it the community's shared bookmark board, brought over as it stands.

The shared bookmark board

297 links under 16 headings, kept in the board's own order. Every one answered when the board was swept in August 2026 and the dead ones were taken out, but nobody has sat down and read through them, so treat these as leads rather than recommendations. A fair few are US-focused or now charge.
