[Asterisk-Users] Limitations of aah

[Kerry Garrison]

Different people help in different ways as well. As we are experimenting and
learning new things, we are writing up articles and posting them to
http://www.geekgazette.com. Sure, it's a little self-serving, but we have
more control this way. We are accepting articles and how-to guides from
other people and posting them as well. Instead of working on the
documentation, we are creating real-world scenerios and showing how to put
them to use, product reviews, step-by-step guides, and other things that
don't fit into "helping with docs". Its just another resource type for those
that are interested. If you prefer the wiki, or a book like Signate's, take
your pick as every day there is more information to choose from.

My Friend, if you and ME and everyone that do something new in AAH (which
has been a great step forward for asterisk newbies and common users like me)
but will be fine to have  a Wiki for AAH so everyone can cooperate in DOCS
and not to let that HUGE and Horrible (Dont forget NOT PAYED) job for the
DOC Team.

also in this forum which is ASTERISK and not AAH will be nice to integrate
and cooperate in the USER FRIENDLY Side of the story, I think asterisk NOW
is stable and feature rich and now needs to be neat and easier. and dont
forget about getting better.


Regards

Humberto
