Hi Joshua,

You can sent me the url (richard at qgis.org), but maybe we first have to
discuss here a little what would be the benefit (for us as QGIS community).

I'm not familiar with Discord, but Wikipedia tells me:
"Discord is a proprietary freeware VoIP application and digital
distribution platform designed for video gaming communities..."

I like the idea of non devs having some insight about what is going on
(though we do have github itself, and gitter [1]), and which makes me
wonder how many communication channels we want to serve), and if it
would not be more appropriate to use some FOSS tool for this?

Can you tell us a little more about your plans?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
