I've posted the feature in the newswire, and linked the posting from 
the static page. Then, from your article, i think people can access all 
the documents you collected in a more contextualised way.

Cool. I think  to make different features for different topic pages is 
a good idea if you or somebody else have time and fancy do it. I have 
already proposed your feature as a start page special in the imcuk's 
antimilitarism page.

But, in my opinion, I think that even if different features for each 
subject area end up being written, I would still have one central 
resource page like "Why are People Protesting" that collects and lists 
all the links at a glance, even if this list keeps growing. That's why 
I divided the collected links into different sections so people can 
search them by subject areas.

In my opinion, this make it much easier for people to find information 
and resources quickly that they may need or be interested in.
