Find a place for reference applications

[jeffweiss]

I created an Elixir - Phoenix implementation for Todo-Backend. Should this be an additional exercise in the guides? Should it be linked in a section for reference applications?

Thanks for adding this!

Once we get the new Phoenix release settled in, we can have a solid conversation about where these should go.

@jeffweiss @jeregrine @lancehalvorsen I wonder if it would make sense to host reference applications external to the guides? I was thinking it might make sense to have a community site or wiki setup where we could list this, along with tutorials and other materials.

I have a list of these sorts of references/examples that could be pulled together for that. A few examples:

This also appears to be a community example along these lines which forks existing example repos

BTW, to be clear, I have a much longer list of these examples, but these are some representative ones.

I agree reference applications should not be part of the guides. Whatever applications we would link to for reference would need to be vetted by the guide maintainers so we need to be careful what we link to reference wise.
