I'm a little unclear what you're saying here.  Are you saying that, yes, it is 
better to ask these questions on the developer's mailing list?

I'm quite familiar with this page.  Is there one of my previous questions that 
you thought was not "smart", or is this just general advice?

Actually, I think that the last thing the wiki needs is more "started" 
documentation.  My plan would be to fix (or "finish") some of the 
documentation that has already been started.

I have contributed.  If you look through the archives of this list, you'll see 
that I've attempted to provide assistance to other users on a few occasions, 
as well as I could with my limited knowledge.

In any case, when I find some time in the next few days I'll repost my 
unanswered questions from a few months ago, and if I get an answer, I'll try 
to integrate it into the wiki.
