I'm looking for online open-source / generously licensed textbooks, papers or tutorials.

 Think of stuff like: http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/

Why? I'm currently running https://chimu.sh --a collaborative learning platform. Quick explanation: Chimu combines an e-reader with a Stack Overflow-like Q&A forum. As people read, they can view others' questions and ask their own. Demo here (desktop works best).

I need to seed the site with initial content, and I figured LW would be a great place to ask.

With this in mind, what are good online tutorials / textbooks that people here have learned from? Is there any book or paper that you wish that you could discuss with your friends?

If I put everthing on libgen onto my site, I will get sued. So the license is important.
