+Ansible Resources
+=================
+
+User contributed playbooks, modules, and articles.  This is a small curated list, but growing.  Everyone is encouraged to add to this document, 
+submit a pull request at http://github.com/ansible/ansible-resources.
+
+Ansible Modules
+===============
+
+Ansible modules are a way of adding new client-side logic to ansible.  They can be written in any language.
+
+* [Official "core" ansible modules](http://ansible.github.com/modules.html) - various
+* [mercurial](https://github.com/bradobro/ansible-module-mercurial) - bradobro
+* [zypper (bash module example)](https://github.com/jpmens/ansible-zypp) - jp_mens
+* [homebrew](https://gist.github.com/3170079) - swehack
+
+Python modules using 0.6 and later can use the common "AnsibleModule" class to dramatically reduce
+the amount of boilerplate code required.  Not all modules above yet take advantage of this feature.
+See the official documentation for more details.
+
+Selected Playbooks
+==================
+
+[Playbooks](http://ansible.github.com/playbooks.html) are ansible's configuration management language.  It should
+be easy to write your own from scratch for most applications, but it's always helpful to look at what others have
+done for reference.

+Callbacks and Plugins
+=====================
+
+The Ansible project has a whole repo devoted to extending ansible with new connection types, logging/event callbacks, and
+inventory data storage.  Talk to Cobbler and EC2, tweak the way things are logged, or even add sound effects.

+
+Scripts And Misc
+================
+
+Ansible isn't just a program, it's also an API.  Here's some examples of some clever integrations with the "Runner" and
+also Playbook APIs, and integrations with other interesting pieces of software.
