Wow I like this.  :-)  I agree, the current * website is a little ... bare.  
Something without a lot of text but is very clear on certain aspects (what 
* is, what it is not, what it needs, what you can do to get started in a 
TDM environment, SIP environment, mixed environment, etc.) -- anything past 
the basic what you need and what it is gets directed toward the wiki or 
mailing lists...  

That's a very good idea.  Especially a section on "This is not commercial 
software, if you stomp your feet and demand assistance, you will be 
ignored." -- point these people off to the commercial support for asterisk 
and everyone's a winner.  :-)

Regards,
Andrew
