Do we accept requests for off-site resources?
It's my understanding that the primary value of Codidact remains in hosting the knowledge first-party, succinctly summarizing and explaining what's necessary. That doesn't seem to be the case with these type of questions.
A particular post has provoked this question:
[What are some introductory texts for learning acoustics modeling using FEM-BEM simulations?](https://math.codidact.com/posts/293735)
It's a wide and open question, with the potential of link-rot.
It's more or less asking us to not create that introductory text ourselves, or citing one, but to instead _find_ it elsewhere.
It's my experience that these questions do not age well in terms of links dying, and more or less being a bit of a frustration to future visitors that expect the explanation and teaching to be _on_ Codidact. Links to further reading material can be useful, but it shouldn't be the primary purpose of a post.
Is the type of question a practical and useful component for Codidact? I believe these types of questions should be closed, but I'd appreciate more light on the issue.
