Asterisk lacks good documentation.  The documentation that is 
available is fragmented.  This is bad.  Fortunately, we are seeing a 
slow consolidation of documentation.  SineApps is now syndicating the 
updates information on asteriskdocs.org.  I closed down MY small web 
site with AGI script examples and sample configs and donated the whole 
site to the Asterisk Docs project.

I want to encourage everyone that has Asterisk related documentation 
web pages/sites to donate the information to the Asterisk Docs project.

I also want to encourage everyone to participate in both the Asterisk 
Docs project and the Asterisk Wiki.
