Tweak getting-help docs (pantsbuild#19418)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
- Change the heading from "Community Chat" back to "Slack".
   This is more evocative, and more specific, and also fixes
   many links we had to the #slack anchor on this page that
   were silently broken when we changed the heading.

- Remove stale reference to the Slack basic plan, now that
   we're on the premium offering.

- Reorder the sections to put Slack ahead of discussions, since
   it is the first port of entry.
    
Also, make the sponsorships page public.

The [Pants community](doc:the-pants-community) is friendly, welcoming, and passionate about improving the craft of software engineering. If you need help with anything Pants-related, you've come to the right place. We'd love to hear from you!

Discussions

The best place to ask technical questions or hold design discussions is via the project's [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants). While questions, feedback, and design discussions are equally welcome on Slack, *we encourage you to choose Discussions whenever it's likely other users would benefit from persistent access to the conversation*. GitHub Discussions is indexed by search engines, and its content is retained long-term, so this is opportunity to help your fellow Pants users by making it easier for folks to discover supplementary technical information beyond the [docs](https://pantsbuild.org/docs).
