I do agree that volunteer-friendly user support is the key for the success of
any Open Source project.
However, in my opinion e-mail and mailing lists are obsolete and ineffective
tools.
A user forum (with optional mail notification) and a wiki are much more
powerful tools.

tutorials, expose new templates and extensions, etc.
Users can provide comments
My concern is that many users expect help to be present in the application
itself, and not everyone is willing to go and find answers in a community.
Could the application itself pull its Help functionality from online
resources?
In my experience an online forum/help/FAQ does NOT replace an
