Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Trying to catch up....Help?

It is true that there is not cookbook of techniques to solve common tasks using the toolkit. But as you said the developers involved are knowledgable and helpful. If you have a question on how to approach a situation, post to the bboard. Chances are someone else has already had the same problem. If they have solved it, they can provide a solution, if not, you have one more person to help think about the solution.

So, don't be afraid to ask questions.
