-matplotlib's communication channels include active mailing lists:
+* `Discourse <https://discourse.matplotlib.org/>`_ is the discussion forum for general questions and discussions and our recommended starting point.

 * `Users <https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/matplotlib-users>`_ mailing list: matplotlib-users@python.org
 * `Announcement  <https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/matplotlib-announce>`_ mailing list: matplotlib-announce@python.org
 * `Development <https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/matplotlib-devel>`_ mailing list: matplotlib-devel@python.org
