Unfortunately RapidMiner resources are very limited, reason is
(afaik) the name change (former 'yale') and of course that it is
commercial (they want to sell their expensive courses :).

I don't know of any usegroup, there is a forum afaik on their site.
I'm playing around with it currently (text classification, etc) but
it's a pretty cool tool with a lot of functionality.
