    The loss of credibility is not because it’s discord,. specifically.

    It’s because the project thinks a chat platform is an appropriate way to document a project. I would feel the same way if someone told me to get on IRC for docs, or Slack.

          Not even a forum.

          Documentation is not a snapshot of a discussion. It largely falls into two categories

          • collections of facts e.g. what command line switches there are, or all the options in the config files.
          • Guides on how to use the software.

          The first is vital. The second is really really useful.
