I had believed that this forum would have been the proper place to seek answers and explanations about material in the book, but by the obvious lack of response, I am coming to the conclusion that there is a better forum.

Where should I go to see answers about the book and related material?

Which Spring community/forum is the most active?

I noticed both a Source Forge mailing list and web-based forums on the springframework.org web site. Are the web-based forums tied into Gmane in the same way as the Source Forge mailing lists? (I doubt it but I thought that I would ask anyway.)

Thanks for your time and guidance.
