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!
