Steve is probably right, but with that said, go ahead and ask your
questions on the list anyway. Even if they are, "How do I burn a CD in
KDE?", and no-one really wants to take the time at a meeting to
"present" on the subject, I imagine you are likely to get a few links
to useful web pages and probably a few step-by-step lists.

Also, even if the thing you want to learn how to do is not terribly
interesting to the group as a whole, I suspect you might find someone
who is willing to show you before the meeting, or at the break, if you
tote your laptop to the meeting.

If your post to the list is met with resounding silence, that is
probably a clue that no-one is really interested in the problem you
have proposed. But I doubt that will be the case, for most things.
