Random info without solid tags is very difficult to deal with. Bugs come and go and carefully phrasing a query is hard. I can't count the number of time I have issued a search on Drupal looking for a solution to something I think is a bug. What turns up is frequently a bug in a current release and what appears to be the very same bug in a very old release like 4.7. Far too many of the search results have no info about to which release they apply.<div>
<br></div><div>In a similar vein, looking at an issue queue for a particular module I find what appears to be a solution for my bug and it even notes that it has been committed, but not to what release it was committed, usually to some -dev release but it is not obvious when one of the many -dev gets into a real point release. I strongly prefer dealing with only point releases for production sites.<br>

I hate to say this, since it is our own dog food, but it's incredibly hard to find useful, timely information in both the forums and the groups. If I cannot find my answer in the structured documents (which are for the most part great), or in the code myself, I try Google against the whole web next. <div>

Whether they are "intended" to work this way or not, the Forums (and to a lesser degree, the Groups) actually serve this kind of purpose very well. The Forums are always my first stop, and often my last. If I had a major say in any restructuring of the Drupal cosmos, I would try to centralize the Forums and Groups in peoples' minds, and make much better use of taxonomy on d.o.<br>
