Individual programming questions might be asked in the regular open threads, but list of resources and commentaries are the sort of curated thing which should be in an open wiki page. (Posts are really bad for that since they are so ‘owned’; when was the last time XiXi updated the previous CS/programming textbook post http://lesswrong.com/lw/cpz/computer_science_and_programming_links_and/ ?)
Consideration: Many more people regularly check the discussion feed than look at the wiki page.
A workaround could be having the actual discussion post in the wiki, but announcing it here.

Would it be possible to made standard posts free for editing? (Ironically I don’t have the programming knowledge to know)
I suspect not. Such a thing is basically a wiki, then...
