Our resource library is a curated collection open data reosurces from across the community. Everyone can add a resource to the library. This is how to do so.
Log in to github and head to the following link:
Every resource has a slug number. To add your resource, you need to give it a number. Look at the list and give you resource the number that follows the current last number in the list (e.g - if the number is 056, your resource should be named 057). Click on the + sign in the directory line and add the number and a “/”. For example: 060/.Click on the + sign again. Add a file named index.md to your new folder.

--- section: resources lang: //Two first letters of the language, according to language code in this table.// Author: //The name(s) of the person(s) who wrote the text// Country: //One or more country by full name separated with a comma: “,”.
