The problem with this system is that you need someone to answer users questions.
The developers don't seem to be doing that consistently on this list.  I've asked a few questions here in the past, in an attempt to get a conceptual overview of how things work, and they were either ignored, or I got an answer from another user, usually along the lines of "Try this, it worked for me", an answer that sometimes worked, but was not helpful in getting understanding.

Please, encourage the developers to read and respond to this list--or should the users be posting these kinds of questions on bluez-devel?
