Personally, though I haven't found wonderful through compiled documentation(would be nice), Ross is extremely good at supporting the project and I have been able to find answer to most problems I've encountered by search google and finding a similar question Ross has answered for someone else OR sending a question to this email list, and he usually has a very good answer that will solve your problem.
