Github Discussions are now connected to ESA-NASA-MAAP Slack

[wildintellect]

Users are now advised to open a discussion question to help record questions and answers for the whole MAAP community.

All questions opened on Github https://github.com/orgs/MAAP-Project/discussions will be posted to Slack to allow for real time problem solving. When a final solution is reached, it's requested that it be posted back to the Discussion on Github for future search-ability and reference. The entire conversation can also happen on Github as responses will also be added to Slack as threads on the post. In the event that a Discussion leads to the discovery of a bug or new feature request the Discussion will be transferred to an Issue for the developers.

This is an early experiment in categories so please feel free to make suggestions to for improvement.

Hello again MAAP Users,

This email serves as an announcement of a new form of communication we are testing for MAAP users to pose questions to the dev teams and the MAAP community at-large. Users are now advised to open a discussion question to help record questions and answers for the whole MAAP community.

Below shows a mapping of where you can find the discussion sections and categories as defined in GitHub within the ESA-NASA-MAAP Slack workspace as separate channels (e.g. #announcements, #data, etc.). These categories are considered experimental so please feel free to make suggestions to for improvement.
