Papers We Love (PWL) is a global open source community dedicated to reading, discussing, and sharing influential computer science research papers. The repository serves as a curated directory of academic papers that have shaped the field of computing, providing a centralized location for documents that were previously scattered across various online sources. While licensing restrictions prevent hosting all papers directly, PWL offers links to their original sources and clearly marks hosted copies with an emoji. The community encourages participation through local meetups, where members gather to discuss and analyze key works spanning topics such as programming languages, distributed systems, and software engineering. In addition to the repository, Papers We Love maintains an active Discord server and YouTube channel, fostering ongoing dialogue around the ideas and applications found in computer science literature. Contributions are welcome.
