[asterisk-users] what happened to asterisk wiki???

[Steve Totaro]

I think Digium should host a wiki (keeping if vendor neutral of course).


This seems to be the most complete backup of voip-info.org but it is
fairly old http://web.archive.org/web/20051013074214/voip-info.org/wiki/
unless someone else spidered it more completely and recently. 

Even if VoIP-info comes back online, I think Digium or the Asterisk
documentation project should spider VoIP-info or at the least, the
snapshot from above and take over the effort.  

When was Paul Mahler's book published?  That was almost an exact cut and
paste of the wiki ;-)

It should not be run by someone who can just pull the plug one day.

Heck, with the introduction of version 1.4, start from scratch.  There
was a lot of junk mixed in with a lot of golden nuggets on Voip-info.

Thanks,
Steve Totaro
