Yes. I would want a site that is better than a basic categorized list. You can have some kind of filtering and recommendation system for content that is interesting to you based on the tagging information and tracking of other people that have similar interests(think netflix). Ideally you should be able to create some kind of playlist of things that you would like to see and add it to that. The site should also track progress. Good luck though, I think it would be a welcome addition to the web.
I'd probably start really simple at first with just organizing the content, which is a big step all by itself. The point would be to get something out that's useful to people. I'd certainly add playlists, favorites, etc. soon thereafter though.
I started down a similar path about 4 years ago with some partners and we created e3f, "education for everyone, everywhere — for free" (http://e3f.com). We were doing it as a side project, and each of us ended up going in a different direction and the project languished.
Would love to talk ideas for starting it up again.
this is really interesting. my hypothesis is this: the resources to learn anything you want, literally anything, exist online. in some cases too many resources exist ie- learn php or rails. Someone needs to organize those sources and the best ones. I was thinking maybe you organize topics into "virtual syllabuses". So say you wanted to learn web dev, you would go to this link for intro to everything, these set of links for RoR stuff, these set of links for mysql, etc. Also keep a list of blogs to continually read to stay up to date. saw youre a bc alum. what year? drop me an email, would love to talk more: [email protected]
