I, personally, starting developing for Palm just last month and have found
this list very helpful. I don't think I've posted to the list ever before,
but I am much more interested in knowing where to go for resources and
information than getting specific answers (in fact, my questions to other
lists I belong to are usually along the lines of, "Can someone point me to
where I might found out how..."). Looking for the answer in a document can
sometimes lead me to finding other answers to other questions that I hadn't
even thought to ask yet. It's very valuable to have that information.
