I think these kinds of questions are fine, but I am just one person. *open source product I have been using appears to be poorly-documented* is an **extremely** common problem. I have actually seen the problem even on some paid products. So searching for help that *should* be in a project's documentation is not unusual at all. A lot depends on the way questions are asked. But asked in a reasonable way, and showing attempts at prior research, such questions can be quite appropriate. A different thing, which may or may not happen here, is the possibility of people creating documentation of projects or technologies, how-to guides or other types of *articles* that would be of help to lots of people. There are many other places on the internet for such things, but linking them together with relevant Q&A is something being considered as part of Codidact, along with other things a little different from "just another Q&A system".
