Well, here's one suggestion that we need documentation support on.<br>
Is anybody able to look at this from languages other than English, Spanish,<br>
and French, and document the sounds embedded in Asterisk, so that native<br>
speakers can record their own prompts?<br>

I think it would be of benefit to have text documents in doc/lang though, even if there are other format docs available too... <br>
</div></div><br>Improving the Chinese language support is an ongoing background project of mine started recently, I'm hoping to get a full sound collection for Chinese mandarin recorded soon which should help with identifying further issues and potentially help promote more asterisk use in mandarin speaking countries...<br>
