So we should change from Slack to Discord. I can take care of this one but a couple questions...
1. I propose a Discord #Help channel to record here in the help browser.
2. I bumped into an interesting tip https://www.reddit.com/r/discordapp/comments/3yu1bh/ server_vs_channel_invites/
Thus I propose we have a #Welcome channel providing info like what the bot has been providing. Later it could be good to have a bot just in that channel, but not off someone's home server :) I would expect that channel to not need anyone lurking in it. Newcomers will jump immediately from there #Help or #General
3. How active is the IRC channel? Should we remove it from the help browser? The mention at http://pharo.org/community could be sufficient.
4. Should we backport this help info update to Pharo 5?
