Also, the comp.emacs Usenet newsgroup -- there are experts there who
know the ins and outs: from configuration, emacs vs. xemacs, source
code, etc.. Level of discussion tends to be mature; volume isn't
very high, but questions are generally answered quickly (my first
post there was answered by a guy from Germany about 10 minutes
after I posted! :).
