Scripting.com's Frontier verb listing: Dave Winer's Frontier verb documentation, hosted on scripting.com. It is mostly accurate for Frontier, but doesn't register the latest verbs from the Open Source Frontier Kernel version.
Userland's Frontier/Manila verb listing: Userland's verb documentation. It, too, is mostly accurate for Frontier, but doesn't register the latest verbs from the Open Source Frontier Kernel version.
Userland's Frontier Page: The original Frontier user documentation. It's not necessarily all up to date and some of the newer features in the Open Source Frontier Kernel are not documented here.
One of the most useful resources for Frontier scripters is Matt Neuburg's book »Frontier: The Definitve Guide«. It's out of print but fortunately it has been made available on the web:
Although the book was originally published in 1998 and covers Frontier 4.2.3, it is still a valuable source for learning about Frontier scripting.
Currently, the best way to get support is to post your questions to the frontierkernel mailing list.
