Here is my question. If all is there then how come a new person can't
run asterisk w/o a pain; at a minimum? May be all of the above was not
read????

This is exactly my point. You have to go four different places to get
things done, only if you get lucky and I did go on a search pilgrimage
when I was doing mine.... what an unpleasant experience it was. (Great,
at least it is there NOW or did I miss it. I see progress). I proposed
before that it should be one document and make it a lab exercise w/o
mistakes and make asterisk a pleasurable learning experience. I agree
with Ira, I cannot get quality help from most of these docs, so I read
it twice that made me dangerous enough and my life went on. This is from
an IT guy who has also taught calc in a University for 7 years as a
passion and not as a career. I exactly knew where my students would get
lost. I see what Ira is saying.
Since Asterisk can do sooo many things, I think it might make more sense
to build a dialplan respository where people can post working dialplans
and other configs as an example. That's not so much a documentation
issue.
