We are not tired of people asking questions in the Evennia support channel
I can attest to this. The Evennia IRC channel is filled with non-stop helpfulness. Also, puppies and unicorns.
V...V...whatshisname is a PennMush to Evennia coder. He knows extremely well what non-coders are looking at and can help you transition where others on the channel are coders used to talking to other coders. There are others, but he's the one person who comes to mind. Not his name, mind you, but him as a person.
edit: Yes, @Volund. He's one-of-us from the WoD crowd.
There is plenty of people dropping in there that have no previous programming experience at all, whether Python or any other mud-specific language. Those with specific mushcode experience helps with the issues and questions specific to that group though, for sure.

As an aside: @griatch, your code example of Why Evennia Is Better Than TinyMU* is kind of ass. Whomever coded the example that you're dissing should be lightly smacked. I can think of a million reasons why you should use a real programming language to code, but "because we have a poor example of Tiny coding" is not one. It reminds me of those PC-vs-Mac OS or Android-vs-Anyone Else wars that some people still think matters.
Not being harsh, but it's a bit disingenuous.
I don't read mushcode myself. The example is written by a mushcode coder that also was one week into learning Python when writing the Evennia comparison. So to me as an experienced Python coder the Evennia example is ugly too honestly. But sure, I hear what you're saying; it's not our intention to make misleading comparisons so if the example comes across as disingenuous we can remove it.
