Many people find just searching the big index [1] to be enough. Besides the Forum and the IRC (often more immediate), there is also a Wiki [2] where you can maybe contribute documentation for "what you would have liked to have seen" and numerous other documentation things off of [3].

It's true the "just web search it" approach may be weaker than other programming languages. That's a late stage network effect (as is lower latency of Forum/IRC responses).
