I made redirects to Online Resources, namely the math blogs, online resources. Before we were complaining to Online Resources for many reasons including that it is not of all resources but only of blogs and wikis in relevant areas. No list of main institutes and archives like arXiv, numdam, jstor etc. there. As the list is long, and hard to scroll, I suggest not to add those to the current page. I think we should rename the current page to math blogs eventually and keep Online Resources (especially because of John's reference in his AMS Notices paper) as a redirect and create new pages for other stuff as well as organize the whole system around a top page math resources which will link to math blogs, math archives, math institutions (and maybe more) as well as very comprehensive central AMS-kept list of math resources.
I know it is not only about math here, but math is a short abbreviation for page name.
Up to now I have realized a large part of an above program, see math archives, math institutions and the supposed top resource page math resources, except that I was cautious not to rename the page Online Resources as people may disagree even with keeping the old redirect and because it may be tricky with the cache bug, while the page is of central importance. I think it would be useful if the pages like math institutions and the top page math resources stay not much longer than they are now, to have quick links and nice readability/visibility. This is the most effective organization, I think. For smaller institutions societies and alternative small lists of resources, it is better to go via links at AMS, EMS and IMU which are already efefctively linked. We can not do better there than those societies do, apart from listing few extra main resources of our main interest. We can have a separate page just for categories or some other things. But the list of blogs is of different character, unlike going to AMS page or jstor, one does not need to go that quickly through list of less-organized stuff like blogs. So the blog list math blogs should grow indefinitely...I have chosen plural as before in these pages, without singular redirect at the moment.

As an Editor of it, let me say: Thank you.
I see that Urs has added separate physics resources and philosophy resources. Thanks, it does not hurt to have those specialized entries as well, but I would like also to iterate the initial idea that math resources be cumulative, hence “math” in its widest sense including theoretical astronomy, theoretical physics, logics, boundary areas of philosophy etc. Thus it includes the physics resources in it. I find it easier to maintain one central page for the blog, wiki etc. resources, which are most often of mixed scope. It does not hurt to have, again, separate lists, but they should not be thought and classified as parallel, “related”, to math resources (which one is free to read “mathematics, theoretical physics, philosophy and logic resources”, rather than “mathematics”), but rather as its more specialized daughters. On the other hand, Online Resources is ages ago renamed to math blogs with the same scope = all blogs of relevance to Lab (but not all resources, just blogs, wikis and few similar categories).
I added links to two wikis to math blogs: mathematical structrues wiki and open problem garden.
