Hum I see.
I was hard and expensive for you ; so let's make it the same for the rest of the world.
Randy is right here, knowledge may be there written somewhere ; unfortunately this way it has been put together is not the most efficient one.
But that's the good news ; it's something WE (meaning all of us) can work on and improve.
As previously mentioned, the wiki very often links to another page on the wiki, which usually link back some way or another to the previous page: rather frustrating.
I will see if I can work on a newbie guide ; because i think the existing documentation assumes a pretty strong background in the telephony field.
As an example, if you wanted to set-up a simple voice system for your home ; you would have to know the differences between FXS and FXO , what a channel is, FXO using FXS signaling etc etc.. All those terms are not defined anywhere in a single place. I only found this information bits by bits on various pages. The most useful one was this web page http://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm but it's not complete.
My intention here was not to *whinge* rather more pointing out some obvious issues and how we could address them ; it's open-source for a reason. I'm sorry if I offended anyone I didn't want to give the impression the come here and criticize all your work.
I'm very excited about this new technology.
I bough a TDM cards with 4 fxo modules, 9 telephones to play with hoping to very quickly replace our crappy analog pbx system with Asterisk after I had a great demo from Digium Australian distributor.
Cheers Jean-Yves
