One source of questions & answers is the archive of this list, at
http://www.ventanasystems.co.uk/forum/
(Specifically, 
http://www.ventanasystems.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=34 )

It's easy to search, but not at all organized, so it could be hard to 
find answers to general questions with nonspecific terminology. It might 
be a good place to mine for material for the wiki.


One further thought: forum search tools typically aren't as good as 
google. For example, if you search the SD archive for "limits to growth" 
there are many relevant results. However, if you seek "discrete 
continuous", you get nothing, presumably because the two words aren't 
normally adjacent. You can search the SD archive direct from google with 
the following search string:

site:www.ventanasystems.co.uk/forum discrete continuous

This approach yields many useful results.
