[Asterisk-doc] Is the project dead?

[Peter Beckman]

I'm pleased to announce that I've got it working!

There is MUCH work to be done to get it to the right place for public
consumption, but I've got a good start on it.

Much of the documentation is copied from PHP, and I'm sure there is a lot
of documentation in there that needs to be deleted, updated, etc.  But the
framework is there.

I've documented in the "Function Reference" section a few AGI and a few
Dialplan functions.  Not deeply, but enough to give a decent idea of what I
hope this project could become.

Comment away!

There is something strange in the include files that causes my server to
not load superfast... I'm tracking that down.  It's something copied from
PHP.net that's doing it.
