The contribution guide needs to be reviewed fully.

I don't use Discord, so one option would be to just guide users to the GitHub discussion board or slack (we could use one of the channels of the Cucumber slack). But if there is enough interest in using Discord, I can also use it. Just don't have the energy to learn how to setup & operate a Discord server.

@SabotageAndi @clrudolphi do you still use Discord actively?

SabotageAndi commented 6 months ago

The original idea for using Discord at SpecFlow was, that we have a communication channel for contributors that is more real-time than a GitHub issue.

It was never for end users, as Discord is not indexed by Search Engines. All shared knowledge benefits only the person who asks and not someone else later.

If you @gasparnagy don't use Discord, I wouldn't create now a Discord server. The people want to reach you.

I use Discord private but for other things than SpecFlow.

Ok. Let's be pragmatic. I created a dedicated Contributor Q&A discussion group and replaced the Discord link to that.

We can rewise this strategy later of course.
