There are several ways to receive help when you're stuck. Whether you need help with TurboGears or a component within, like SQLObject or Kid, you can find a resource here.
Mailing Lists
Mailing lists are a great way to talk about what's happening with TurboGears, though they also serve as a great place to request help from experienced individuals. Here is a table of mailing lists for TurboGears and its components.
TurboGears -- This is the primary mailing list for TurboGears users. If you're running a TurboGears release and have questions, comments or suggestions, this is the place to go.
TurboGears-Trunk -- If you're running code directly from svn and have questions or comments about things that are not in a current release, this is the list for you.
TurboGears-Announcements -- A very low volume moderated list for announcements.
TurboGears-Docs -- Mailing list for the documentation editors. If you have questions or comments about the documentation or would like to help, write to this list (member-only-posting group).
TurboGears-Sprint -- Information for upcoming Sprints can be found here.
TurboGears-Tickets -- This list tracks new tickets or ticket changes on trac. It is read-only and will receive automatic notifications from trac whenever a ticket is created or modified.
TurboGears-Commits -- Receives notifications of commits to the TurboGears Subversion repository. For developers, read-only, low-volume.
TurboGears-Docs-Changes -- This list tracks changes to the TurboGears documentation wiki. It is read-only and will receive automatic notifications from MoinMoin when a page on the wiki is modified.

Wiki
This wiki is the central repository for the official TurboGears documentation. Start by visiting the FrontPage and there select the version of TurboGears you are using.
The RoughDocs section acts as a collection point for user-contributed and unpolished documentation. We encourage all to contribute, but at the same time we can't vouch for the accuracy of the included information.
