Actually, for something like Asterisk, that has so many different aspects, a Forum would be a much better idea. Then, each piece of hardware can have its own category, along with an FAQ.

There's lots of Asterisk forums out there already, but weirdly enough all the really good information is in the mailing list. Funny how that seems to be a consistent pattern in the world.

Whether or not a forum is a better idea isn't really depending on the subject matter IMHO. Its success or failure depends on what the prospective participants like better. I personally cannot stand forums. That's a place where I have to expend energy to go there and manually click through stuff. If I remember to go there and say up to date, that is. Email comes to me, and is sorted suitably on the server side so there is no clutter. Deleting messages I don't care about is much easier than clicking myself through some thread on a forum.
