But there is a real scarcity of knowledgeable people there. There is
the occasional request for help with openssh problems that almost always
boil down to reading the documentation and there are the usual questions
like "I'm trying to build SmerglX and it doesn't work" (often followed
two minutes later by the questioner leaving the channel). Otherwise,
you are apt to see clueless questions and, in the rare cases where
someone responds, unfortunately, clueless responses.
So I wouldn't expect that you'd get good advice there. I sit around and
answer the occasional question along with a guy who's nick is "somian"
but, without a doubt, you get better help here than you'll ever get
there.
