There's also a Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/leo-editor

Leo does dog-fooding: Leo's own code base (hundreds of Python files) is 
contained and developed in a Leo file (called an "outline").  I just 
this afternoon searched it to find where a particular core method is 
called in less than a second (two places, it turned out).  Leo lets you 
break down a program or other chunk of code into whatever pieces you 
like, not being limited to modules, classes, methods, and functions, and 
to rearrange them pretty much at will.

Much of Leo's documentation is in Sphinx documents that are authored and 
managed in Leo outlines - it's an excellent documentation tool.
