There is a "promote debian" ring already:
http://spreaddebian.com/
I like to see related sites linking to each other, and I
like to see friendly cooperation and communication between
Debian-community sites maintainers/users.
That is something which I think does exist currently.
I've heard from/chatted to several site-maintainers and
everybody seems very keen on promoting resources for the
benefit of the *users* rather than the site-owners.
(Only one minor exception.)
But having said that I'm not personally a fan of web-rings.
Mostly because you have no control over the quality of the
other sites which join. By having a lot of big sites join
you're implicitly endorsing the ring and the other members of
that ring, sight-unseen. If I want to endorse a site I want
to do so knowingly.
Still I think there are probably valuable Debian-friendly, or
Debian-community sites/pages which could do with more promotion
and recognition. I guess the Debian wiki is a good starting point:
