A feature at OSNews for many years, the OS Resources page has been a popular reference for OS enthusiasts, but it hasn't been tended very much over the past couple of years, and it's in need of an update. While the OSNews staff will be working on making our own updates, we wanted to involve the readers, so we've set up an OS Resources Wiki to help with collaboration. Please "read more" if you'd like to help out.

Oh I don't think that's fair. OS Design & Implementation is still used heavily in university OS courses, and Modern Operating Systems is a good, broad book all 'round. Don't think it's not relevant because OS Design covers a microkernel. The core concepts are still perfectly valid.

Other than bookmarking http://www.osnes.com/resources , how do users normally navigate to this page?

There's already web site called OSLiving.com that is pretty much what you're aiming to create as far as "listing open source operating systems" goes. It doesn't really attempt to list books and stuff though.
Anyway, it's relatively new, but it's already been Dugg a couple times, and has a pretty nice setup.
In the interest of full disclosure, I've written for the blog part of their web site, but the "main part" of the web site is definitely the index of open source projects.

I would maybe like to see a list of self-directed educational OS projects, such as GeekOS. (http://geekos.sourceforge.net/). I worked through a couple of the projects and found them to be very helpful in expanding my basic understanding of OS concepts.
Anyone know of any other such projects? PintOS also comes to mind, but I haven't had the opportunity to try it out.

In the interest of being bold...
Keep the page as a wiki so it never gets out of date again. Or the content of the page could be created by exporting content from the OSDev.org wiki.
