How does the community feel about resource requests?
How does the community feel about resource requests?
For example: I have been working on a project recently. By which I mean: mostly stumbling through by trial-and-error. The particular open source product I have been using appears to be poorly-documented beyond setting up a Maven extension project. Documentation for how to write code to do various tasks is very sparse.
I think a productive question to ask would be specific and include details, such as "what are the extension points to perform this task I need to accomplish?" along with details about the task. Or, "which classes and constants contained in the project are relevant to the task?" However, ideally, there would be some tutorial or guide that (so far) is just outside the reach of Google that has eluded me thus far.
Anyway, I understand questions like this are very unwelcome over there and I wish not to make a negative contribution if this community feels the same way.

I would like to see questions asking for help finding resources be considered on topic, but I would suggest creating a seperate category for them, like how Photography and Outdoors have one for Gear Reccomendations.
We should also think about some community wiki style posts with links to tutorials or books.
The article idea sounds good too.
