For the first of your two topics, there used to be an "Asterisk Voicemail User Reference" PDF by Jeffrey C. Ollie floating around on the net, but the link seems to be dead now. You may still be able to find the DocBook XML sources out there if you search for them.
In any case, I will send the HTML version I have to you off-list. For the hardphones, Polycom's user manuals are fairly thorough. Let me know if you need those... Good luck!

I've looked at the Asterisk Documentation Project as well, but I'm more interested in users, not developers. I'm looking for words of wisdom on end-user training, materials you'd be willing to offer under a creative-commons license or public-domain, advice on structure and lengths of training, and anything else you think would be helpful! I have intentions to contribute back as much as possible any materials or "curricula" I can create to help train end users on Asterisk features. In specific, I'm planning on training supervisors and administrators in a call-center setting that does mostly outbound calling for survey research (*no* selling anything of any kind :). I do not plan to sell training to anyone -- this is strictly to teach our employees how to use the phone system. I plan on teaching users about the following processes: - Voicemail (checking, forwarding, appending, recording greetings) - Holding, transferring, conferencing a call I plan on teaching users how to operate a softphone (haven't decided which yet) and a hard phone (we have Polycom 430s and 501s) as well. I'd welcome any advice or materials! Thanks!
