Description

@pfmoore

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Users having trouble with a Python problem don't really have a good idea of where to go for help. As a result, they often ask in the wrong place - for example, users having problems with importing modules raise issues on the pip tracker.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be good to have a very clear link on the python.org homepage saying "Where to get help" and pointing to user forums like the Users category on Discourse and comp.lang.python.

Describe alternatives you've considered
At the moment, this information is available via About->Help, but that's not at all obvious to a newcomer. The "Community" section seems more about how we manage the community than how to be part of the community.
