I've ended up asking questions that were explained in the docs pretty well more than I dare to think about.
The issue, I think, is that while the people in a community live and breathe $technology, I'm just a tourist; $technology is just one of many things I have to work with, know and understand, and it's a lot of mental effort to try and balance them all.
I mean recently I'm running into more and more issues with $technology and am considering moving away from it; I've scanned the docs again, but finding no answer for my issue with $technology I've opened up a GH question issue. Usually the community manager is pretty helpful.
But the thing there: The community manager manages just that project, it's his job, it's his library, he wrote most of the code and the docs, and if anyone knows his stuff, it's him. But for me, his library is just one of many gears in my system.
At least the docs for that one are manageable, can probably be read end to end in about an hour.
