I've asked myself this very question occasionally.  Just empirically by 
doing regular web search, I end up very often on Stack Exchange, e.g. for 
Java or JVM problems.  The reason why Java with all its problems still 
survives (and thrives) is that so many answers are available.

You are welcome to initiate a thread on isabelle-users.

I think the main question for most of us is how SE actually works, and 
what needs to be done to establish some foothold there.
