[fpc-pascal] What to do to get new users

[Hairy Pixels]

Another point is that FPC doesn’t have an official forum except for the
mail list and that in and of itself is a problem if you ask me. Most young
people don’t use email and won’t like this. I myself don’t prefer the mail
list over some of the very nice forums that allow posting code and very
easy to use and browse information.

You can’t even easily browse the old messages compared to other services. I
would much prefer what https://discourse.llvm.org/ does and many others for
example. I brought this up a while ago and people didn’t seem to like the
idea. Very well but for new users I think you’re shooting yourself in foot
by not have a competitive way to get help.
