useful resources:
I strongly suggest to subscribe to http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-listXSL-list , check http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/the XSL-list
    archives
  
The http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/xslfaq.htmlXSL FAQ .  
The http://www.nwalsh.com/docs/tutorials/xsl/xsl/slides.htmltutorial     written by Paul Grosso and Norman Walsh is a very good on-line
    introdution to the language.
  
The http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTutorial/Books/Book1/index.htmlonly
    Zvon XSLT tutorial
 details a lot of constructs with examples.  
http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/index.htmlJeni Tennison's
    XSLT
 pages provide links to a lot of answers  
the http://incrementaldevelopment.com/xsltrick/Gallery of
    XSLT Tricks
 provides non-standard use case of XSLT  
And I suggest to buy Michael Kay "XSLT Programmer's Reference" book
    published by 
http://www.wrox.com/Wrox  if you plan to work
    seriously with XSLT in the future.
Well, bugs or missing features are always possible, and I will make a
point of fixing them in a timely fashion. The best way to report a bug is to
use the 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=libxsltGnome bug
tracking database
 (make sure to use the "libxslt" module name). Before
filing a bug, check the 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxsltlist of existing
libxslt bugs
 to make sure it hasn't already been filed. I look at reports
there regularly and it's good to have a reminder when a bug is still open. Be
sure to specify that the bug is for the package libxslt.
For small problems you can try to get help on IRC, the #xml channel on
irc.gnome.org (port 6667) usually have a few person subscribed which may help
(but there is no garantee and if a real issue is raised it should go on the
mailing-list for archival).
There is also a mailing-list mailto:xslt@gnome.orgxslt@gnome.org  for libxslt, with an http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/on-line archive . To subscribe
to this list, please visit the 
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xsltassociated Web  page
and follow the instructions.
Alternatively, you can just send the bug to the mailto:xslt@gnome.orgxslt@gnome.org  list, if it's really libxslt
related I will approve it.. Please do not send me mail directly especially
for portability problem, it makes things really harder to track and in some
cases I'm not the best person to answer a given question, ask the list
instead. 
Do not send code, I won't debug it (but patches are
really appreciated!).
Please note that with the current amount of virus and SPAM, sending mail
to the list without being subscribed won't work. There is *far too many
bounces* (in the order of a thousand a day !) I cannot approve them manually
anymore. If your mail to the list bounced waiting for administrator approval,
it is LOST ! Repost it and fix the problem triggering the error.
Check the following too before
posting
:
search.phpuse the search engine  to get informations
    related to your problem.
  
make sure you are ftp://xmlsoft.org/using a recent
    version
, and that the problem still shows up in those  
check the http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/list
    archives
 to see if the problem was reported already, in this case
    there is probably a fix available, similarly check the 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxsltregistered
    open bugs
  
make sure you can reproduce the bug with xsltproc, a very useful thing
    to do is run the transformation with -v argument and redirect the
    standard error to a file, then search in this file for the transformation
    logs just preceding the possible problem
  
Please send the command showing the error as well as the input and
    stylesheet (as an attachment)
Then send the bug with associated informations to reproduce it to the mailto:xslt@gnome.orgxslt@gnome.org  list; if it's really libxslt
related I will approve it. Please do not send mail to me directly, it makes
things really hard to track and in some cases I am not the best person to
answer a given question, ask on the list.
To be really clear about support:
Support or help request MUST be sent to
    the list or on bugzilla
 in case of problems, so that the Question
    and Answers can be shared publicly. Failing to do so carries the implicit
    message "I want free support but I don't want to share the benefits with
    others" and is not welcome. I will automatically Carbon-Copy the
    xslt@gnome.org mailing list for any technical reply made about libxml2 or
    libxslt.
  
There is no garantee for support,
    if your question remains unanswered after a week, repost it, making sure
    you gave all the detail needed and the informations requested.
  
Failing to provide informations as requested or double checking first
    for prior feedback also carries the implicit message "the time of the
    library maintainers is less valuable than my time" and might not be
    welcome.
Of course, bugs reports with a suggested patch for fixing them will
probably be processed faster.
If you're looking for help, a quick look at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/the list archive  may actually
provide the answer, I usually send source samples when answering libxslt
usage questions. The 
html/libxslt-lib.html#LIBXSLT-LIBauto-generated documentation  is
not as polished as I would like (I need to learn more about Docbook), but
it's a good starting point.
