Proposal for better gatekeeping: stick to masterpiece materials

Description

Can we please refrain from adding things if content isn’t unique?

Why

I’ve been following the changes happening lately and I’m concerned making changes to this repo is turning into a popularity contest. Below are a few reasons why.

Possible Implementations

I propose contributors ask themselves these questions before opening a PR:

• Does the writing follow a unique pedagogy?
• Does the writing put you outside your comfort zone by taking an unfamiliar and scary topic and making you happy, instead of overwhelmed?
• Is the writing from a portal, aggregator or a commercial site (constains ads, etc)? That should be a yellow flag as these places favor breath over depth.

A few other random points:

• I would prefer that topics endure test of time and that they stay away from frameworks. Thoughts here?
• If we link to an aggregator site, we defeat the point of being curators here.

Is this something you're interested in working on?

• YES
• NO

No file or test is named, so start by reading the issue and its comment thread to determine whether maintainers want a concrete curation policy. Done would require an agreed scope, decision criteria for tutorial additions, and a documented place for contributors to apply them.
