I see your reasoning on that one. Perhaps it is best to leave the
information about the asterisk-users list so they can contact us. I'm
just worried about the idea that people aren't going to want to subscribe
to a 4000 message a month list just to find out about a system.
Especially with the emails that come through here, setting up the system
will seem pretty daunting, probably even discouraging. Any ideas on that?

asterisk 'dealers' just because I chose to implement that product. Such
a list of users would make a tempting target for marketing uses...
But either way, a list would be a great addition. It would go a long
way toward debunking the FUD that usually accompanies a product of this
type. And with Asterisk it's worse because it gets Linux FUD as well as
VoIP FUD.

Perhaps a page on the wiki would work? We could set the ground rules
similar to other industries: no names, nothing more defining than a
region, the number of units, etc. Would that be useful?
For example, I can describe this organization as a security company in
Southwest Missouri using asterisk with 60 sets and 16 lines.
When you strip off my name and email, it gets a little less certain
who I am talking about...

I like the idea of having the information on the wiki, makes it simpler
for everyone to see just how well the project is doing. I'm not sure
about the removing identifying information part is such a good idea,
since the best way for people to trust a system is to talk to people
that have used it before. Or do we just want the information to filter
through the asterisk-users list?
