[Other] There is a new Discord server for the VMS.

But what if that Discord server grows, and people start posting actual, useful research there? Is there any way to have the chat logs and discussions from Discord easily available on the web?

The thing with blogs or forums like this one is that, although posting here is a slower means of communication, all these online discussions are periodically being logged on the web for posterity, and readily available for any future researcher. Any significant breakthrough on this MS is bound to stand on decades of previous work, we really should try to keep all of our research backed up online as much as possible.

Just to illustrate one of the disadvantages: Discord would make it harder to find if topic or feature X of the MS has been already researched by somebody - unlike posts like these, chats don't pop up on search engines.
