We no longer operate a mailing list, but the list archives can still be searched for all the tips and tricks and information gathered over the years. Some of it is obsolete, but many things never change; so you may find relevant material there. You can also use the search on the mailing list archives. Just be sure to set the drop down menu on the site search to include the mailing list.
Here you can do research on your own. Maybe your problem has already been discussed. Then you find the answer here faster than on the list itself.
