Patrick, congratulations, glad you're in! I'm not a member of NH, but I'm in charge of re-linq, which NH's LINQ provider builds upon. re-linq basically just works, but there have been a few issues in the past that we could solve for you (like VB support), that we will solve soon (like using IQueryable objects in queries, http://groups.google.com/group/nhusers/browse_thread/thread/441d3289fea5ad0d) and some where we found we should not implement them in re-linq, but rather help you building it (like conversion of DefaultIfEmpty to outer joins).
We're no experts in NH or HQL, but we like to help out if we can. Just make sure you give us some context when it gets too NH-specific. One problem I keep having is that on this list, the discussion often evolves around LINQ to SQL conversion, when really the process is a) LINQ to HQL and b) HQL to SQL. Since I'm only concerned with (and only understand) a), that would be one thing to keep in mind when discussing LINQ stuff with us. I also think that for troubleshooting, it would help a lot if NH's LINQ provider could write the HQL AST it generates as a string. I believe this would in many cases make the source of an error much easier to locate. Steve once mentioned that he could do that, but I think he didn't have much time at his hands to spend on LINQ2NH lately. I'm watching this list, so I believe is Fabian, who owns the code of re-linq.
