From Ruby: This page has been too long in draft form, because I have found so many excellent resources I want to organize and share. But getting them sorted is a task that takes time, so I have chosen to publish a sort of “in progress” version of this section for the present.
For now you will find resources alphabetized, with my working notes as to what their primary focus is, as well as the country of their origin in some cases. Note that some of these, while based in a specific region, are not designed to serve only that area — that is they are still worldwide and worth looking at no matter where you are located.
I shall do my best to tidy up as soon as I am able! Till then, I hope this is helpful to all of you reading.
