docs: add a community resources section

openby andypiperopened 2022-05-02updated 2024-09-08
docs

There are a few scattered references to the MicroPython forum in the documentation, but I propose adding an additional section highlighting where newcomers can go to find additional self-education and learning resources, such as:

  • the forum
  • the wiki
  • Awesome MicroPython list
  • any chat servers (specifically Slack)

I'll happily work on this obviously under review from project leads.

README: add a section describing MicroPython's design values

Summary

This adds a section to the top-level README describing MicroPython's general design philosophy and core values.

Thanks to @projectgus who suggested I add this.

The values written down here are based on my overall feelings after about 12.5 years working on MicroPython (!!).

Trade-offs and Alternatives

I tried to keep this brief yet descriptive enough.

I put it in the README instead of the docs, because that felt like a better fit. I guess we could also duplicate it in the docs but I'm not sure where it would go.
