Hi,
your list is pretty impressive, I started something similar about 2 and a half years ago at my-korea.info (don’t worry, I’m not a DPRK supporter or anything like that, I just wanted to make my website look stylish, see the disclaimer for details), haven’t been updating it properly for the last couple months, though, so mostly the .kp site links are not working anymore.
Here are some suggestions for your list:
[sorry, I had to cut these out and move them to a separate page, since your WordPress didn't let me post this many links in a comment, go to http://my-korea.info/upload/linksuggestions.html to see them]
I’d also love to make some contributions to your website, that’s a great job you’re doing here and for the last few years I’ve collected some interesting DPRK tech-related materials that you might like. Also make sure you check out my YouTube channel.
Cheers!
