In regard to your aforesaid comment, if you like, please let me throw my hat as a transfer knowledge medium and I can compile what you have researched so far, to give folks a better understanding of a dial plan. I guess the attempt of this effort would be to do some organization that u saw was not there. Your previous feed back is very well taken. Asterisk is very much a happy body of scattered information. To put our money where our mouth is; lets help. > ....I can't write, or I'd consider doing a book on creating the perfect dial plan. Please do not under estimate yourself. Would you accept my assistance to help you write it? I will do most of the writing, if not all. We can try to take our readers on a journey of words into the utopia of a dial plan. Your perfect dial plan, which I support, is needed. Please let me hear your comments!!!!! If you are interested, we can go private on this.

I can only speak for me, but I would have liked more how to and less history. For me the biggest learning curve was creating a dial plan and while it's documented there, it just seems to gloss over it. I would think that a perfect intro to Asterisk would spend 1/3 to 1/2 of the book discussing extensions.conf. I can't write, or I'd consider doing a book on creating the perfect dial plan. I read it which got me here, but once I'd read it mostly I found it didn't have the depth of coverage I needed to go where I wanted to go and so I started using the wiki which is better but disorganized. I didn't say it's not worthwhile, just that I don't think it's perfect. I own a paper copy and occasionally I pull it out to read a chapter about something I've not implemented yet and it's useful for letting me know what I'm about to get into and how I might use it, but I don't find it much help past that. Then again, I don't know the goals of the authors. If it was to get my interest up so I'd jump in, it worked, if it was to be a manual and reference, it worked less.
