[Asterisk-doc] Need some help

[jim at digitalchemy.ca]

Dear Marlon,

The questions you are asking are some of the questions we hope to answer through 
the documentation project.

This forum, in fact, exists for the purpose of the members of the documentation 
team to discuss issues relating to the creation of documentation. It is not the best 
place to ask questions relating to Asterisk.

There are several sources of documentation which you will want to become familiar 
with: The Asterisk Draft Handbook (http://www.digium.com/handbook-draft.pdf), the 
VoIP-wiki pages (http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk), and our 
own humble contribution at The Asterisk Documentation Project 
(www.asteriskdocs.org).

Please help us by testing Volume One of the Documentation project 
(http://www.asteriskdocs.org/modules/tinycontent/content/docbook/current_v1/docs-
pdf/vm1.pdf). That document's goal is to help you, the new user, get your first 
Asterisk system running.

Asterisk is perhaps more like a programming language than a PBX. The simple fact 
is that you are going to have to be willing to do a lot of reading and research to 
unleash the power of the system.

Good luck!

Regards,

Jim.
