Hello all!

I'm one of the developers working on the new PostgreSQL website, and while reviewing for outdated information I noticed there's some new books published in 2017 & 2018 that aren't in the Books database. Are there any arguments against including these?
From my time helping to add content typically we’ve added books when people
have asked us to do so.  From someone who predates me: are we ok with
adding references to books when the author has not specifically reached out?

Additionally, I think it'd be a great idea to have more versatile resources provided to people looking to learn PostgreSQL. That seems to be the biggest barrier preventing people from getting started, from conversations I've had at conferences. So I'd like to include a new page under "Documentation" labeled something like "Online Resources". 


+1. I think we need to make sure that we periodically audit
the resources, but this is not different than what we have with professional services
or products (which get audited every X years at this point).
