I am a Yate user and I can tell their mailing list suffer the same problem. My solution? I often ask for help but, as a personal policy, I always write an article or add to an existing one on the project wiki explaining and documenting what people explained to me. This creates a triple value: <div>
<ol><li> I have stuff explained <br></li><li> other people can find this explanation just googling around <br></li><li> I don't have to mantain a separate documentation for myself, I just keep referring to (google and) the project wiki (when I don't exactly remember things I sometimes end reading the wiki and saying "oh, I wrote this!")<br>
</li></ol></div><div>I suggest, in the end, a kind of "ok I'll give you help but you write this stuff in a piece of documentation" policy. I got the name, too: "The Wiki Tax" ;)<br></div><div></div>
