[Asterisk-doc] "The Extensions.conf Cookbook" chapter

[Jared Smith]

I know it's probably bad form to reply to myself, but I'm still looking
for input on the layout for the chapter(s) on configuring
extensions.conf.

My questions are:
1) Is this outline acceptable?  If not, PLEASE reply with specifics,
such as "Foo needs to be explained before Bar".
2) Should the "cookbook" part of the chapter be split into it's own
chapter?  (I've split it off into it's own chapter in the outline below)
3) Is there anything really obvious that we're missing here?

Here's my latest revision of the outline

Components of Asterisk Configuration
  The Asterisk Directory Structure
  Editing .conf files
     ??? Maybe explain modules.conf, so that newbies understand 
         why modules.conf is so important?
  Getting started with a DevKit Lite ((one FXS, one FXO - Maybe a diff
title?))
     Zaptel and zaptel.conf ((GS/LS/KS signalling... zttool... etc.))
     Zapata.conf ((just the basics... an introduction to contexts))
     Extensions.conf ((just enough to be dangerous))
  Getting started with VoIP ((just the basics))
