DOC: replace developer meeting with contributor community page

[noatamir]

Updating the developer meeting page to include the new contributor meeting and slack
Along the way, I decided to include other communication channels and did my best to describe them, making this more of an internal contributor community page.

Inspired by SciPy and NumPy's community pages, and Matplotlib's home page resources and meeting documentation, and readme.

I tried to keep this pandas' community page as much as possible. Please provide feedback on what you would like to see changed, so it's more appropriate.

I would suggest we add redirects for the old page to this one. If you have an example for how this was done before, I could add it to this PR. Otherwise, I will investigate if Sphinx supports this.

We currently have some manual setup for redirects in conf.py, but tailored to generated API pages. Either you could adapt that a bit to work with generic pages, or otherwise we can use some sphinx extension (eg https://documatt.gitlab.io/sphinx-reredirects/index.html)

small comments, overall setup looks good to me

Lgtm.

a General thought: I think potential new contributors would benefit from this being visible on the stable docs

any thoughts on backporting?

[noatamir]

I think I just added the redirect – but check me 😉

Looks good, labelling 1.5.1 for now so that we can backport if there aren't any objections from others

Thanks a lot for writing up this page! That's really useful content. Just a few tiny comments

The doc build failure seems to be related:

 /home/runner/work/pandas/pandas/doc/source/development/index.rst:26: WARNING: toctree contains reference to nonexisting document 'development/meeting'
looking for now-outdated files... none found
pickling environment... done
/home/runner/work/pandas/pandas/doc/source/development/community.rst: WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree

The /docs/source/development/index.rst file still needs to be updated

[jorisvandenbossche]

Thanks!

Generally we don't do the effort of backporting doc fixes, but given that it would be useful to have this updated soon and this shouldn't give conflicts, sounds good to me.
