I strongly support this kind of human to human interaction. When arriving
in a new project, there is a lot things to know that is not properly
described in a proper document, set of general rules, etc. Things like how
to handle this error situation, or weird error message from the compiler. I
don't want to annoy the mailing list with obvious error message, trivial
situations.

I think we can learn a lot from well organised documentation, but talking
to someone who already know is extremely valuable.
