Hi David,

You can search our mailing archives if you have something specific in mind: 
https://lists.apache.org/[email protected] 
<https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]>
You can also post a question as a new thread to dev@ mailing list. Currently we 
do not have a users@ mailing list and we will wait for responses to this 
summary for 72 hours before submitting the new list request (provided there is 
consensus or no opposition).

thanks,
aditi
