Recently, while introducing my friend to comp tf2, i realized just how much you have to search if you want to even dip your toes to see if you like it, search results and "resources" in comp tf2 places give you old outdated lists with dead websites and discords, and the only real way to find the current ones is to go around asking so maybe someone knows a guy who knows a place
These are obstacles lots of new players have to jump over in order to join the scene that could easily be removed if there was just some list that was updated even twice a year, at the top of every big comp page.
Hell, I would be willing to run a youtube channel that posts a video listing every live site/discord twice a year myself!
thats probably the first place they would look anyway!

Yes I am, although the project won't start until the off-season and it will take a while to complete. To help with the grievances that Handyman mentioned, I will be trying to get it published on Newbie Mixes and or RGL's main / doc site for SEO so that players can find it by just googling it. While I will maintain it as much as I can, it will be handed off to an org. (or TF2CC) to continue it when I can't so that it can be continuously updated.
I'm always looking for more people to contribute in whatever way they can (As direct contributors, editors, or if you want to join the Discord link that Bethnicz posted just to be updated when major patchwork is done), especially those from different regions since I am a burger and don't know the nuances or the important details of Europe's scene.

sounds like a promising endeavor, i'll be following it closely.
i'll probably actually go ahead and make a channel that lists all pug places i can find a few times a year, wouldn't hurt to try!
