I participate in several, for the various programming languages I am involved in. For the most part they are all pretty good, except that too often you get someone who rather then help you go in the direction you want to go, insists on telling you go in another direction, without stopping to consider that there may be reasons for doing it in a certain way. Also sometimes the experts can be rather dogmatic, with blanket statements about the suitability of a particular method without consideration of the circumstances. And so they refuse to tell you the answer.
