 Hi CCL'ers,
 Sometimes in my work, I encounter a programming question that surely has a well
 known answer, but does not seem to be addressed by any easily-found FAQ's. For
 example, it can take days to figure out how to do something simple like redirect
 stdout. Who do you turn to? Can anyone reccommend a good forum for asking these
 questions? Do you know of an open-source chat room?
 Thanks
