I'm sorry to hear that, #ubuntu-touch and #ubuntu-app-devel are usually
very active channels, and many canonical employees and community members
spend a lot of their time there trying to help whoever is in need :)

As others have said already, you can also try AskUbuntu if you want an
alternative platform. If I were you, I'd just give IRC another go :)

In the meanwhile, please report more details about your problems here :)

In particular, about those imports, they are already available in the
latest sdk release ;)
