Mainly I think we need to point people to the GitHub Discussions page, not just remove references to the forum. If you want, I can add some more helpful test suggestions later, I just need to actually familiarize myself with the new system (let me know!).

"[GitHub - ropensci](https://github.com/ropensci)", "Mature R packages contributed by rOpenSci staff or community-contributed peer-reviewed packages; software peer review system; rOpenSci website",
"[GitHub - ropenscilabs](https://github.com/ropenscilabs)", "Experimental packages and code experiments from staff, collaborators, and participants of unconfs and related events",
"[GitHub - ropensci-org](https://github.com/ropensci-org)", "Non-code repositories like this guide, the blog guide, ideas for Community Calls",
"[Discussion forum](https://discuss.ropensci.org/)", "Public forum on Discourse for use cases, Q & A about rOpenSci packages, exploration of ideas and best practices",

I think we should replace this with a link to the usecases in the Github Discussions.

Again, I think this should be replaced with a description and link to the GitHub Discussion. Otherwise how will people know?

* **Ask or answer questions**. Participate in discussions in the [forum](https://discuss.ropensci.org/), on GitHub or on Slack
* **Ask or answer questions**. Participate in discussions on GitHub or on Slack
* **Try a 2-hour [remote co-working session](https://www.cscce.org/2020/02/04/online-co-working-partnerships-are-community-of-practice-in-action/)** with someone in our Slack #co-working channel
* **Seek community feedback on your package ideas in the "Packages" category in our [forum](https://discuss.ropensci.org/c/packages)**

I wonder if we need a replacement for this somewhere that isn't Slack? Or is the replacement to ask for suggestions on Social Media? But that's not a space we really maintain... hmmmm

So we do want to create a new space for discussions on GitHub Discussions? @steffilazerte @yabellini

I think this would be a staff chat question?
