moin moin Laura,
I went through the first half of the list.
I have contacted a few of the authors to verify updated information.
Can we somewhat easily add fields? I think it would be nice to add debian
release and ISBN.
And a random sig about books appears :).

moin moin Laura,
I would like to help out with this if I can.
Great! Thanks!
Do you have to be a debian
developer to help?
No, merge requests in Salsa or diffs/patches to the list are perfectly fine.
After some successful contributions, you could get permissions to commit
directly to the repo.
The initial need is to go through the current list and verify the
listed
books are relevant to stable?
Yes, we can start with that.
If I receive a new request via books@ I can forward. I'll also have a look at
the mailbox archives to see if there is a pending request and file a bug.
Thanks!

Dear all
As part of the recent web team sprint [1] (report will come in the
following days hopefully), we have reviewed several areas of the
website
that were in need of maintenance.
[1] https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2019/DebianWebTeam
For the /english/doc/books page [2], we need maintainer(s) to keep
up-to-date the database of books, process new requests, and care
about
the bugs related to the list of books, if any.
[2] https://www.debian.org/books
This is a call for help, or request for "adoption": would anybody
volunteer to this task?
In the /english/doc folder of our repo [3] you can find the
books-related files.
[3]
https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/blob/master/english/doc/
Maintaining the /doc/books section can be a nice entry point for
somebody to get involved in the Debian web team. Technically
speaking,
it's an easy job, but the "curation" task that a human provides is
very
appreciated by our users. On the contrary, an outdated or
unmaintained
list of books looses its value very quickly.
If somebody is interested in adoption, they won't be alone (at least
at
the beginning). I've included my address in the alias
bo...@debian.org
to work together with them until they find a suitable workflow and
they
feel comfortable doing the task themselves. We'll also document
everything for others to jump in too.
If nobody steps ahead at the end of the year, we'll move the current
(English) content to a page under wiki.debian.org, removing the
section
(English and translations) from www.debian.org.
If you are interested, reply to this message in the public mailing
list
(debian-www@lists.debian.org) or privately to bo...@debian.org and
I'll
point to detailed steps to start. You can also join #debian-www IRC
channel (in irc.debian.org).
Kind regards,
