I think this is exclusionary. As Kelcey points out, there's a high
probability that some of the best books on CloudStack are not written by
committers.

Blunt, but hyperbolic. ;) If you really feel so strongly about the wiki,
you should propose that we shut it down. ;)

The wiki is a community resource, and we should embrace that, and encourage
that.

If you're concerned that people visiting the main website will not notice,
and will never find, a page that lists third-party resources, then I
suggest a patch that provides a link in the nav saying "third-party
resources" and link it to the wiki.
