Description

Hello all!

### **Proposal:**

I see that we can ask question on StackOverflow, which is excellent! However, I suggest we open a website or discord server (or similar) where we can host open questions and answers.

#### **The Why**

StackOverflow is amazing as we all know, yet stack overflow has very strict and sometimes unfair standards of questions. For example, if a question is asked that is considered unworthy, the question is quickly rejected and the stack overflow account which created the question gets a negative point towards its overall score.

#### **What type of questions will be asked? Why is this helpful**

For example, I have some 'simple' questions such as:

* Why use AutoFac over the default Microsoft library?
* What is the best method to organize additional DTO's, Services, etc related to a single feature
* How and why to take advantage of putting interfaces in an isolated '.Contracts' project

etc

I realize we have Reddit for this, and other sources already, but given @ardalis size of following and number of very awesome libraries, it would be nice to have a dedicated discussion area for @ardalis styled C# development

Research direction

The proposal mentions StackOverflow, Discord, Reddit, and other external discussion venues; start by reviewing the existing community options and deciding what dedicated area is needed. Done means selecting a venue and defining how it will be hosted, moderated, and maintained for C# development questions.
