I agree with you Francesco.

It is as simple as this: If you want everything for free then sit on the
corner of the street with your hands open (called begging).

Open source means you also have to do something for it. You don't want to do
something for it, then you pay and hire somebody to do it for you.

Look for commercial assistance, pay for it and you get documentation,
support etc.
Try to find a PBX solution for free that can do what Asterisk can do. If you
find it, complete with documentation, support etc. Then comeback and wine
and nag about Asterisk.

If not; Please stop nagging.

You people make me so angry. Too lazy just to look around, solve a problem
and work for something that is for free.

This is my 75 Euro/hour advice.

Me thinks you haven't grasped the idea of OSS...

If you have a problem with it, do something about it! (Dig in the project
and write some good documentation!)

I am however surprized you say there is no documentation... Maybe you mean
no documentation in French? (It's only in France that it is obligatory to
supply French versions of everything you publish!) a quick google for
asterisk gives me a plethora of web-sites with documentation, how-to's,
etc.!

And as Areski said: if you have an issue, first contact the person(s)
involved. Only if they do NOT reply, solve or otherwise take satisfactory
action, you should consider going to the community like this! In the time
I have been on this list, I have seen many helpful (unpaid) posts by him,
and I think you have - unjustfully as far as I can tell - damaged his
reputation by this manner of behavior!
