Following the kiss principle we might extend TYPO3 error messages with a 
link to google searching the Mailinglist-Archives providing the 
Error-Message as the google query string;
this could be done with two links: one searching specifically typo3.org and 
the ML archive there and another one searching globally; (or even the 
bug-tracker in case this makes sense)
Add two nice titles to those links like: "check the .... for details on 
this message" ...
off you are wih 30% of support questions;
just my 2 kiss-cents, regards georg
