Help currency review

Ben Coman
At this late stage of Pharo 6 development, it might be good to do a pass at...
World > Help > Help Browser content 

Epicea >Browsers - mentions two separate browser windows

GT Debugger >> Actions - TODO

GT Playground >> Overview - http://gt.moosetechnology.org redirects to http://gtoolkit.org/
and same for several GT entries

Welcome > Getting Help says...
- The "Pharo Slack Team": http://slack4pharo.trentosur.com/
- The "Pharo IRC Channel": irc.freenode.net, #pharo channel 

So we should change from Slack to Discord.  
I can take care of this one but a couple questions...

1. I propose a Discord #Help channel to record here in the help browser. 

2. I bumped into an interesting tip

Thus I propose we have a #Welcome channel providing info like what the bot has been providing.
Later it could be good to have a bot just in that channel, but not off someone's home server :)
I would expect that channel to not need anyone lurking in it.  Newcomers will jump immediately
from there #Help or #General

3. How active is the IRC channel?  Should we remove it from the help browser? 
The mention at http://pharo.org/community could be sufficient.

4. Should we backport this help info update to Pharo 5?

cheers -ben
