Re: [Asterisk-Users] list proposal

[Chris Hirsch]

What about a wiki? I personally don't like forums because I prefer the content pushed onto me and then let Mozilla do its magic with sorting and stuff. When I do have a problem however I first do a google unless there is a wiki present. Nine times out of ten, when users can post their own answers and help evolve documentation online it helps everybody, keeps everything organized and is usually much more up to date. BTW that also means that the main developers don't have to worry about keeping documentation up to date :-) That alone should be worth it hahaha.

Specifically, I would go back to the suggestion of a collaborative website for documentation. Collecting info and organizing into Howto's would reduce the number of times people ask the same questions. Also, the documentation could grow as quickly as the project. Unfortunately, I don't have a place to host it currently. Ideally, the list would just be for issues that aren't already addressed. Any one else interested in this? While it still needs to be done, the majority of those type questions will still happen as the newest users still don't use google until told to do so. I don't buy that. I think that people are much more likely to check out documentation linked to directly on the site than they are to utilize Dr. Google's resources. Even if you google, the results can be confusing. Also, some people aren't quite sure what question they need to ask, and some entry-level documentation would help that.
