Ah, that's a good question to include in the FAQ.
I once had an Inkscape user actually find my phone number and call me (at work!) for help getting it working with a cutting machine."
Just fyi: There's a nice, and little-known forum for using Inkscape with cutting machines -- Inkscape Cutting Design at http://www.inkscapecuttingdesign.com/index.php However, these days, cutting machines' drawing software has gotten so much better, that most people don't need to use Inkscape. So the future of that forum is not clear -- I think the admin is considering closing it.
Also a board at InkscapeForum.com (http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewforum.php?f=31).

That's an irc channel, yes. irc://freenode/#inkscape There is an inkscape twitter but i don't know much about it (btw, maybe we should announce .48.5 on it)

Similarly, if you follow the user list or the #inkscape user channel and see questions being asked a lot (and that sound likely to continue being asked long in the future), consider adding Q&A's for those.
From my experience on #inkscape, the two most asked questions on #inkscape are [hh:mm:00] *inkscaper424242<kiwiirc@...3144...> joins [hh:mm:15] <inkscaper424242> hi, can i ask a question ? [hh:mm:28] *inkscaper424242<kiwiirc@...3144...> quits [client quit]
Hah! Yes I've noticed this as well.
Don't know if it'll help but I added a sentence to the IRC applet page to encourage them to wait a bit if they ask a question.

and
"how to install on mac os x ? i downloaded the program and it won't launch"
I take it this is just "remember you need XQuartz installed first"? Perhaps the better solution would be to make the OSX installer check for XQuartz and prompt the user to install it (or offer to do it for them)?
