Shortlinks: link.g0v.network

This code repository contains a list of helpful shortlinks for finding public resources.

The shortlinks are automatically updated on each change to this repository

Why?

Maintaining a shortlink service with other people allows:

1. Building a common language of keywords, helpful for voice communication and finding the digital resources themselves,
2. Updating shortlink keywords allows resources to be migrated without requiring everyone to be notified.
