I would modify the suggestions slightly and either add to it, or replace
the reference to voip-info with a link to https://wiki.asterisk.org
I was just thinking yesterday that voip-info seems out of date for many
things I search for, but at this point I'm usually looking up things
that are probably not used as frequently, so maybe the more "regular"
stuff is more up-to-date on voip-info. In any case, the Asterisk Wiki
seems quite up-to-date and useful. Also, you can quickly get some good
info by doing "core show application <app>" or "core show function
<func>" from the Asterisk console, like "core show application dial"
gives you all the possible arguments for "Dial", including some useful
notes. Quite handy.
To provide some clarification of why it is up to date:
The documentation for many things (applications, dialplan functions,
some configuration files, manager events, etc) exists as XML within the
Asterisk source code itself near the implementation. There are scripts
which take this XML and produce some of the wiki pages you see. We've
also made it so that documentation for some things has to be specified
when adding stuff or else Asterisk will not allow it to work. This makes
documentation as close to a first class citizen as it can be (albeit
that doesn't mean one can't write bad documentation).
Cheers,
