I agree, the Wiki is Step #1 for any Asterisk user. The Wiki is a great reference, but you will always have people who need help. As much as us "techies" and Linux-gurus love to say READ-THE-F-in-Manual (RTFM), we shouldn't "shun" people away from asking for help via a forum. A reference guide or any documentation will never be 100% complete. The Wiki and any forum are two different animals. In my opinion, you'll never answer every single question in the Wiki. If you tried, it would probably become too unwieldy at that point or too long for any sane person to read it all. As much as we gripe about it, it's human nature to want to ask for help rather than spending time to find the answer themselves.
I'm sure we all have used some sort of technical forum to ask a question at some point, and had our problem solved, so forums do have some value. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Stingel Sent: Friday, September 17, 2004 1:39 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk forum created Yet another forum seems quite unnecessary to me, but I added a post there referring people to the Wiki.
