Description

Summary

The gitpod community is a super helpful resource and we should make our users more aware of their existance.

Context

Users should not doubt how and where to ask questions, suggest features or even contribute to Gitpod.
After all, Gitpod is open-source, developed openly and sports a super friendly and engaging community.

We have two places we should send users:

  • Discord
  • GitHub Repo
Value

Users learn about the community and can engage with it, by learning about possibilities and solutions others have found.

Acceptance Criteria

More users engage on Discord and this repository (starring, issues, PRs).

Measurement

Increase growth of activity and number of users on Discord and GitHub (measure starring).
