[Asterisk-Users] FAQ, Documentation, How-to, etc

[Ray Burkholder]

I think the key idea is to help newbies along as much as possible so they
don't have to revert to the list to obtain answers to their questions.  This
will reduce list bandwidth, possibly significantly.

I see that we already have a four line digium footer on each and every
message.  With judicious re-arrangement, so as not to expand the footer
significantly, we put in a pointer to an FAQ, which in turn points to
valuable documentation resources such as voip-info and xvoip, plus answers
(or links) to common questions such as the moh issue, echo, ...

We will then reap a bonus.  We reduce the recurring traffic, then we can
free up bandwidth for the now being bandied about 'business' list, which in
itself, should be content heavy.  I'd actually prefer to keep it here, since
I obtain all my primary info here anyway, and managing another list is
really my idea of a good time.  If we start to see 25% or 50% coverage on
'business' related stuff, then would be a good time to slice it off on to
its own self-sustaining forum.
