 Hello,

I see you have some useful resources for learning Emacs on your website -
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/. Myself Vikas, and i work as a

Hackr.io's is a platform where the programming community curated learning
resources. Example: For Emacs - https://hackr.io/tutorials/learn-emacs

Requesting you include add the above curated emacs learning resources on
your website. Thanks for your time!

Itʼs a curated list of pointers to resources for learning emacs,
hackr.io doesnʼt host them, so the question of license doesnʼt arise.

I had a look at these links.

The only thing which really stands out as being absolutely worthy of
addition is emacsrocks.com.  The other links had a lot of redundant
material (already mentioned in the guide), were paid resources, or
simply didn't look very professional or high quality.

On the other hand emacsrocks.com is already mentioned on the front
page of the official Emacs web site, so it might be redundant.

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/

All of this is completely subjective, of course.  But I suggest to add
the emacsrocks.com web site and close this.

Thanks,

Not sure I understand: where do you suggest to add a reference to
emacsrocks, given that it's already mentioned on the Emacs Web site?

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

The original bug report suggested that we add a number of links to
"A Guided Tour of Emacs", available at:

    https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/

Having reviewed the suggested links, I conclude that the only one
suitable for addition out of the list of suggested links would be
emacsrocks.com.  Even that might be redundant since it's already
on the main page of Emacs.

In my opinion we should therefore do one of two things here:

1. Do nothing; close this as wontfix.
2. Add a link to emacsrocks.com to "A Guided Tour of Emacs".

I think either alternative is fine.

Thanks,

While re-reading more carefully, I realized the original bug report actually
says "add the above curated emacs learning resources on your website".

One could perhaps say we have already considered the links, included the only
suitable link, and that we can therefore close this (without the wontfix tag).

If there are no objections, I'll do that in a couple of days.

Thanks,

Sounds good, thanks.

OK, done.
