OK. There is very hot discussion here. It means (I hope) subject is very hot.

we are quiet because we are very busy and hard working (around VoIP, Asterisk, 
Internet, e.t.c), and maybe talking not enough.
But I think this discussion means we think documentation is VERY important 
part of Asterisk.
There is some old rules about this:

1. Make documentation in parallel with coding.
2. Make docs even before coding.

This is because you have to know where are you going and documentation is your 
roadmap.
