Andrea Ferretti has just revealed his new project: MathOnline is a searchable catalog of free online mathematical references. For example, here are all the online guides to Algebraic Number Theory. The focus is on expositions, not research (we already have the arXiv), and all material should be legal for redistribution. There is clearly a lot of work to be done filling in the catalog, but I think this site could become really useful. Head over there and add your favorite texts!

Currently, the idea seems to be focused upon books. My good friend Professor Elvis Zap continues to do short topical videos on youtube. It is a pity that most of these things are below college level at the moment, but there has been an urgency in getting these items in place. And yes, I will redo the Cantor set. The only thing I like in that one is the shirt.
The site only hosts link, so I don’t think there is any problem to add the status “video” as well as “book”, “lecture notes” and so on.
Its a great effort to say the least!
Just as a sort of unabashed publicity, I thought of pointing out that I have been maintaining a list with the same purpose on my web-page here at, http://theory.tifr.res.in/~anirbit/know.html
Will surely add this MathOnline to that!
Not that anyone cares, but the Cantor Set vid has been fixed even if the shirt is not as nice.
