Indeed. It just so happens that stackoverflow is the official support
channel for Plone users as linked by http://plone.org/support

For our casual users and integrators mailing lists aren't a good fit
and using Nabble to mask mailing lists as web forums was only a minor
improvement.

We continue to use mailing lists for core and add-on developers. And
of course it's up to the CMF developers to choose their official
support channels.

Just don't be alarmed if you see references to stackoverflow from time
to time - it's probably from people coming through Plone.
