Description
I have somewhat recently accidentally discovered that apparently there exists a rust-gpu Discord server.
It is not dead, there are actual people and discussions there, but it is very hard to find since it is not linked from anywhere. If not that comment, I wouldn't know about its existence either. I heard there is also a private Zulip that is for maintainers only.
I'm wondering if it would make sense to link that Discord server from official docs or create a public official Zulip for discussions?
GitHub's discussions are okay, but I feel like they are often confused with issues and generally are not as nice as some other alternatives. Zulip has the benefit of being potentially readable without registration and index-able by search engines, etc.
What do maintainers think about this?

Research direction
Review issue #467 and the referenced PR #380 comment to confirm the existing Discord context. The work is not ready for an implementation-only start: maintainers must decide whether to endorse Discord, create a public Zulip, or use another venue. Done would mean the chosen official channel and its documentation location are agreed and recorded.
