We are so happy to have you here! 
As you probably know, libp2p is a modular networking stack that powers a large number of peer-to-peer applications. It provides plumbing such as peer discovery, routing, addressing, connectivity, security, etc., so you can focus on building your app/platform.
The libp2p project has grown rapidly in the last months, and up until now, we’ve been primarily Github-focused.
Github is fantastic tool to engage with maintainers, but we felt we needed a new venue to enable users, implementers, contributors, researchers, and curious minds to engage with one another in a collaborative, synergistic way.
After all, libp2p is all about creating connections! 
So say hello 
to our new discussion forums! There are several categories, so make sure to post under the relevant one:
- Users & developers: if you’re building with libp2p.
- Implementers & contributors: if you’re building libp2p itself.
- Research & paper discussions.
- Ecosystem & community: tell us about your project, or announce meetups and other events.
- News & announcements.
We aim to keep the libp2p community is open, accessible, inclusive and collaborative. Please help us keep it that way!
