Description

As part of implementing #71, it might be good to pull the external-resources link in https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/users/index.html and instead have the third-party link in the header link out to a landing page that itself links out to the resources and libraries page.
* __con__ one more layer of indirection 3PP->libraries->library page, 3PP->resources->resources page
* __pros__:
* resources is currently buried in users->guide->resources so linking cost is net zero
* puts building education resources on equal footing w/ building downstream libraries
* process to contribute to both will be the same (+/- keywords) & lets us lead w/ make your own (like in the readme, which more or less probably could serve as the landing page)

Research direction

Start by reading issue #71, the users guide at https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/users/index.html, and the repository README to understand the existing links and contribution flow. Create a landing page linked from the header's third-party entry, with links to the resources and libraries pages, and remove the separate external-resources link from the users page.
