Thanks for the correction. ;-)<br>
Like I said, it's been a long night. And still more to go yet. (At
least another 5 more hours)<br>

For example, Robert, anyone contemplating the preparation of
documentation should be careful as to whether the correct term is
"depreciated" or "deprecated".<br>

Sorry in advance for any grammer/spelling mistakes. (I've been at it
for almost 18 hours now.) <br>
<br>
My thoughts are basically this...<br>
<br>
1) We can start from scratch, and create a new single wiki, which is
recognized as the most comprehensive guide to Asterisk.<br>
2) We can expand further on voip-info.org.<br>
<br>
Regardless of which option we do, regular 'audits' of the documentation
is done, to ensure that the latest and most accurate information is
available. <br>
<br>
What information will be available?<br>
Everything about Asterisk. <br>
- Guide to setup/install of Asterisk (Using the Realtime Engine,
AEL, etc) <br>
- Troubleshooting/debugging guide, common issues and their
resolution, etc<br>
- Each dialplan application, explanation of it's use, it's
parameters/options, examples of use.<br>
- depreciated functions, and detailed alternative methods<br>
<br>
Some of this stuff seems silly, but the point it to make the
information available to even the newbies. Someone mentioned in a
previous thread that alot of the information on voip-info.org is
written for advanced users, and it assumes too much about the reader,
and their skillset. This only leads to more silly questions from the
reader. <br>
<br>
Anyway, this is my start. I am at least attempting to improve the
documentation on Asterisk. Anyone go any other suggestions?<br>

============
A few weeks ago, in the users lists, I was speaking about the lack of
proper documentation regarding Asterisk. While there is the Asterisk
Bible (<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://asteriskdocs.org">http://asteriskdocs.org</a>) - great read by the way ... and there's
voip-info.org - there isn't really a good source for comprehensive
documentation on Asterisk.
With that in mind, our organization is prepared to sponsor a project
such as this. However, we're looking to know how much contribution the
community is willing to give.
I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback in this regard. Thanks in
advance for your time.
