I think we'd be better off posting a regular FAQ, perhaps weekly, with some of
these suggestions, as well as providing a link to that FAQ from the mailing
list signup page, along with a STRONG suggestion to peruse the FAQ first.
I agree with this 100%

I wouldn't say that voip-info.org has everything that a person would
want to know.
This is especially true of any recent changes to dialplan applications

Voip-info.org is a great place to start, and often you will find an

My own experience is that it covers a very broad spectrum (far broader than
Asterisk) and in a rather terse manner. I have spent an hour or two at a time
pouring over a topic there and come away little
If you find something on a WIKI that is outdated, guess what you have an
opportunity to do . . .

For me it's not so much the stupid questions as the expectations that
we're here to solve their problems according to their needs. If that
continues to happen and the noise level gets high enough those that

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
Don't over think this, guys. Again, the point of having a WIKI is to
allow for customization. A landing page for Asterisk documentation
within voip-info.org is all you need, not a whole new source of
documentation.
