Which nobody has stated it is. Just means for your needs (which you have
never stated nor pointed to particular missing chunks of documentation for
what you intended to do) was far from fulfilling your expectations.

I though I made it clear. Your comment sounded to me like FUD, since you
give an opinion without pointing to particular instances of your claims,
saying "wholly incomplete documentation" sounds extreme (which is typical
when trying to introduce FUD). So, is just you sounded like that to me, if
you are not trying to do so, then don't get it personal, isn't the point
here, for me anyways.

IRC answers from people hanging around is not documentation. It's what

Again, never stated IRC was documentation, and was rather introduced as way
of saying, what you cannot find on the wiki, you can find it on IRC, because
is for sure there are things that are not on the wiki, even for more used
technologies like Asterisk.

documentation. Which is lacking. This is not FUD. This is not me saying

That is at least a bit better than your first post, re-read your first post
again, you never even mentioned transition from Asterisk nor whether you
wanted a PBX. Even when Asterisk is sometimes seen as a PBX, can be used as
a pstn gw or something else, so, as I said, you never mentioned what you
wanted to do nor when did you try (as projects evolve, your statements may
no longer be true). In short, the only piece of relevant information I was
able to take from your initial post was "documentation is crap and no useful
applications exist", for me, that sounds a lot like FUD. But hey, that's
just me, I'm sure others will learn something from your post, I just felt
the need to give my opinion as you did.

 I'm sorry you're offended by my opinions, but in your words, 'I defy

No offense taken ;-), hope is the same for you. Again, our perspective of
what "comprehensive" documentation is differs, needs improvement for sure
though.
