How is it accessed? Ask LibreOffice refers to http://ask.libreoffice.org You can login to ask or answer just by e.g. using your Gmail account, no need for a new registration. Regarding the comments you are quoting, I can only say that people answering questions are volunteers (such as myself) and they can (and should) only answer when they know an answer. If someone asks e.g. how do I use LO to print sideways in a Mac, personally I have no idea because I never used a Mac, so I leave the question unanswered... Secondly since collaborating is volunteer, I don't feel obliged to step by every day or scrolling through all the unanswered questions since my last visit... I hope that there are enough collaborators so that at any moment a question could be answered by someone. My 2 (voluntary) cents. FYI I'm not a member or affiliated with TDF or linked to this project in any way.
