My experience here is that the list isn't much help. It can be very hard to
get a question answered!

Especially when it gets out of the "Hello World" level.

And when a question eventually do get answered it is often terse and hard to
understand.

It would be nice if more of the devlopers would spend some time on this
list, as it would really save those of us still learning a LOT of time.

Coming from the Python list this is really a big difference. If I have a
Python question I get an answer very quickly from the top Python guys. On
this list I hardly ever see the top guys, and it can be really frustrating
sitting with a problem for hours or days knowing that somebody could solve
it in a few minutes.

I am using the 2 minutes rule myself. Any qustion that I can answer in less
than 2 minutes I will. 2 minutes isn't to much so I can answer a reasonable
amount of questions and still get work done. When I get better I will be
able to solve harder problems in 2 minutes.

If only somebody better would take 2 minutes to solve some of my questions
:-)
