Guys, I understand the reasoning, but don't you think that we have had 
enough volunteers for a asterisk-Only wiki / site for information.  It 
is my opinion that if we keep registering domain name and keep trying to 
keep multiple areas for resources, the community will have to idea where 
to look for accurate and up-to-date information.

I will be the 1st to offer my domain name to support a single site/cause 
for asterisk only information.  That doesn't mean we can't have multiple 
mirrors, but the information and site must be the same.

I would suggest that we join forces and start putting this together as a 
team, instead of as individuals.  If anyone wants to join forces to form 
this team, let me know and let's get it moving forward.

It this point I don't care what the domain name is, lets just work 
together for a common cause.
