Make `resources` a slash command.

Currently, the resources command allows to fetch certain resources with a specific topic.

The catch is: You need to know the different topics that we have.

This can be made easier by switching to a Slash command that allows auto completion whenever we input text.

Requirements We'll need to expose an api that allows to fetch the resources and cache them, as they're not that prone to change.

If indeed we introduce a new resource to site, we can have a reload subcommand to reload the resources from the api (which we'll restrict to particular roles/users)

If you look through the uses of the !resources command, it's very often used as a reply to someone, which is useful, especially in busy channels like #python-discussion where it wouldn't be obvious otherwise. Switching to a slash command would make this not work any more.

Using the topic arguments is less common and useful in less cases, since it's usually good enough to link someone to the overall page and let them decide what specifically they want to look for, so I don't think it's worth the worse user experience in other cases.

I also personally think slash commands are more clunky in general, for example if someone just wanted a message after the resources command like !resources Take a look at these resources then the UX with slash commands would be worse.

Now that I've read what you've said, I agree with you.

I'll close this then, thanks!
