Discussions are re-enabled

[jeromegamez]

Dear all,

I had closed the discussions on this repo a few years ago in favor of a public Discord server. My hope was to enable real-time discussions for a community where people would help each other. In the end, there were 500+ members who, with the exception of one or two people, used it to jump in just once, get direct support from me and then come back only if they had a new question.

GitHub sponsorships gave me the hope that the corporations and freelancers using the SDK for their commercial projects would make use of them to support my work on the SDK and to receive quality support in a private sponsors-only Slack workspace - unfortunately, that was not the case. With the exception of a few individual sponsors over the years, this project remains un-funded.

I want to have a positive outlook on 2024! I do want the SDK to flourish and I want that the users of the SDK have a way to connect and support each other, so I'll give GitHub discussions another try, and I hope that you all will participate and help each other here.

If not, it will at least give me the means to convert issues that are not bug reports to a discussion topic to keep the list of open issues small.

If you and/or your company use the SDK to make money, please do consider becoming a GitHub sponsor or urging your employer to support my work (and the work of other Open Source Software maintainers). Every hour I spend on the SDK by fixing bugs, enhancing code quality and adding new features is an hour that you or your team doesn't have to. A GitHub sponsorship is a meaningful (and the easiest) way to show your appreciation for my work and to support the continued support of the SDK an my other open source projects.

Thank you!
Jérôme
