Is there a single website that provides a guide to most of the go related things on the Internet, at least the internet in English or other European languages. I suspect most things are linked to by Senseis, but not from a unified location, as far as I'm aware.

What I'm thinking of is something like a webportal, from the days before search engines took over the world.

The American Go Association has something that seems to be what you're describing:

Yes, that's the sort of thing I'm thinking of, though I'm not sure when it was last updated.

It'd be nice to give Hiroki Mori's "The Interactive Way To Go" at www.playgo.to a bit more star-billing... That site is fantastic for new players. Right now it's sitting in kinda the middle of a field of ~15 options, I suspect that new players who came to the site probably would select the first or second option and then leave it at that.

"The Way to Go" is a very good pamphlet, but I feel if you've already got them on a computer, might as well take advantage of some Java functionality, and "The Interactive Way To Go" is amazing at this.

One of the links for John Fairbairn is dead: http://www.britgo.org/text/fairbairn/.

There's no section for Go News, though you do have a link to Go4Go. You might also add Just Play Go, Mr. Kin's page, the senseis' summary of Go News.

There's also no link to L19x19, as far as I can tell.

I appreciate how hard it is to maintain a page like this, so I'm glad to see that there is one. Maybe a form for submitting pages could be a nice touch.

Now that I think about it, is igolocal on there?

Uh oh, maybe I don't know what I've gotten myself into here.

Looks like its been more than a year since I've touched that page (I'm fairly sure that I'm the only one that uses emacs which leaves *~ backup pages), but the page was last edited this past June. Maybe I should give this one to Kirby :)

fixed the proverbs page -- added the missing "s" in .shtml

replaced godiscussions with lifein19x19

fixed a couple of other typos I stumbled over, and cleaned up some of the internal comments.

still more to do.

Create a directory, e.g. ~/.backups. Then add this to your .emacs file, that will place all the *~ files in that directory from now on:
Code:
(add-to-list 'backup-directory-alist             ; Move all those NAME~ files to ~/backups
             '("." . "~/.backups/"))

Alexander Dinerchteins top361.com website lists some go blogs and go websites by popularity. It has been down for a while now though.

There's also dmoz: http://www.dmoz.org/Games/Board_Games/A ... _Games/Go/

Thought it's been discontinued lately, I enjoyed pretty much 361points.com. As well as Chiyodad's...

Alexander's top361 is a list of links with reciprocal links, with "semi-obscure" (¿?) intentions hidden, so I wouldn't pay it too much attention.

Sincerely, I would go to Senseis... or if you want to read some blogs, you could try some feeds from planetgo.org or the "Go aggregator".

By the way, you could also visit my site :lol: :lol:

There is a special page on sensei's for this as well LinkCollection maybe you could not find it because it was not called internet solved internet is now an alias for the page

The problem seems to be that there are to many pages to mention, even a page with only links get to big and become obscure.
Maybe we could start different link collection pages for the diferent target groups.

(i did add some of the pages here to the sensei's page, feel free to add more)
