********** I understand. As someone else already mentioned, Voip-Info.org is for more than just Asterisk. Perhaps if we created a single source that was just for Asterisk...where everyone could contribute towards making the documentation better. I would be very interested in helping sponsoring such a project, just so long as we have enough contributors. ********** We have some documentation and I can contribute that. Also we can provide the physical resources (Domain, Web hosting, bandwidth, storage, database etc). Ofcourse need a team with designated responsibilities.
