Glad to see new blood on the team, especially people who are willing to
contribute!

Feel free to use the mailing list for usage and documentation as well. I
would call any subsurface related discussion as relevant to the list. The
fact that the most active people happen to be developers and tend to
discuss that on the list should not prevent discussion about other
important aspects (of which user documentation / usage is one example and
those have been discussed on the list as well).

We do also use IRC to some extent for communication (#subsurface on
Freenode).

Third option is bug tracking system (http://trac.hohndel.org/), but that is
probably a wrong channel for this...

We are interested. A good place to start is this mailing list and possibly
a feature request or two on the bug tracker as well.
