After further thought, I've decided that a better way to handle resources is to parallel the way scores are handled on CPDL. Each resource, whether a book, accessory, software package, &c. should be given a separate page. The resource page will be a list of categories. This will also minimize space required, because many items may fit into more than one heading on the resource page. For example, MakeMusic publishes the software package "Smartmusic", which besides being software, is a practice aid. In like manner, an old music tutor might reasonably be included in both the section on Music History and the section on Music Education. | After further thought, I've decided that a better way to handle resources is to parallel the way scores are handled on CPDL.

OK. It seems to me that it is a worthy idea that there should be a place where choir directors and managers can find an increasingly encycopedic list of resources of interest to them. Such a list would include books about all aspects of choral music, a list of notation software, with reviews, and comparison charts; sources for choir apparell. Or not.
The purpose of this talk page is for the CPDL community to discuss the notion: what format the page should take, what format the information on the page should take &c.
What is posted on the content page now, is a first suggestion; even as the creator, I find it weak, uninspiring, and in need of reorganization and reformatting, so write what is on your mind--you won't hurt my feelings.

I've added Toobaz's music notation software info from the Forum and added some info for Sibelius. I've also added the RSCM. As far as I'm concerned, the gerneral layout seems fine so far. We just need to put some info in now! Thanks for getting things off the ground, Noel. Bobnotts 08:46, 20 January 2007 (PST)
