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

I'd love to contribute with the little that I know. What exactly are<BR>
you looking for? A supplement to the existing docs and man pages<BR>
or...?<BR>

Sorry in advance for any grammer/spelling mistakes. (I've been at it for<BR>
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<BR>
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<BR>
is done, to ensure that the latest and most accurate information is<BR>
available.<BR>
<BR>
What information will be available?<BR>
Everything about Asterisk.<BR>
- Guide to setup/install of Asterisk (Using the Realtime Engine,<BR>
AEL, etc)<BR>
- Troubleshooting/debugging guide, common issues and their<BR>
resolution, etc<BR>
- Each dialplan application, explanation of it's use, it's<BR>
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<BR>
available to even the newbies. Someone mentioned in a previous thread<BR>
that alot of the information on voip-info.org is written for advanced<BR>
users, and it assumes too much about the reader, and their skillset.<BR>
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<BR>
documentation on Asterisk. Anyone go any other suggestions?<BR>
<BR>

We would be willing to help with the proffreading.? (that was intended as an arguably poor joke, of course!)<BR>
For example, Robert, anyone contemplating the preparation of documentation should be careful as to whether the correct term is "depreciated" or "deprecated".<BR>
