[asterisk-users] RFC -- Improving the quality of the mailing lists

[Robert Broyles]

I wouldn't say that voip-info.org has everything that a person would 
want to know. 
This is especially true of any recent changes to dialplan applications 
(and their available options)
Voip-info.org is a great place to start, and often you will find an 
answer there. But not always.

People are always going to ask stupid questions. There's no way to avoid 
that.  But I do believe the documentation is somewhat lacking.
