help: Add link to Discourse instance

[EricCousineau-TRI]

Add note that IRC channel may not have history, and thus may not be easily searchable for newcomers.
(I could not easily find a discussion archive)

Hello, and thanks for your contribution!

I'm a bot set up to make sure that the project can legally accept this contribution by verifying everyone involved has signed the PSF contributor agreement (CLA).

Recognized GitHub username

We couldn't find a bugs.python.org (b.p.o) account corresponding to the following GitHub usernames:

@EricCousineau-TRI

This might be simply due to a missing "GitHub Name" entry in one's b.p.o account settings. This is necessary for legal reasons before we can look at this contribution. Please follow the steps outlined in the CPython devguide to rectify this issue.

You can check yourself to see if the CLA has been received.

Thanks again for the contribution, we look forward to reviewing it!

Saw that there were some core development bits. It's not clear to me (as an outside) which form of communication is preferred.
Perhaps this? IRC > Discourse > Zulip > python-dev, at least for new questions?

It'd be great if there were some concrete pref, just so it's a bit less confusing for newcomers.

Zulip is no longer monitored by core devs.

Myself, I monitor only Discourse and python-dev. I know a few other core devs are on IRC. My personal recommendation is to make Discourse and python-dev be more prominent than IRC.

[EricCousineau-TRI]

Thanks! I've tried making the changes you suggested.

Can I ask if you have a suggested change for your office hours?

In Python's Zulip Chat, Core > Office Hour stream. A reminder will be posted to both Zulip and Mariatta's twitter account 24 hours before the start.
