Re: After wiki.asterisk.org was upgraded my user no loger exists.

Thanks for the reply.

If it is of some use, my user in Mantis and the Wiki were the same
(khratos), created both with the same email address.

It wasn't the upgrade to Confluence 3.5 that caused this, it was the 
migration of the Asterisk issue tracker over to JIRA and the import of a 
large number of user accounts from Mantis. We're working on resolving 
it, and it should be taken care of today or tomorrow at the latest.


Nothing has been lost.

Open Help Conference

Shaun McCance — 2011-03-25T19:18:50

Hi all,

I'm organizing the Open Help Conference this June. It's a gathering of
documentation and support people from various open source and community
projects. There are already participants who contribute to projects like
Firefox, GNOME, and Ubuntu.

http://openhelpconference.com/

There are presentations the first day, but with plenty of time between
for hallways conversations. The second day has open discussions, ending
with an open collaboration session where you can get input from peers
and professional tech writers.

We also have rooms availabe after the conference for team sprints, if
you'd like to use the opportunity to do some face-to-face collaboration.

Would anybody from Asterisk be interested in attending?

Thanks,
Shaun McCance

I've taken a lot of your suggestions into consideration and have added several 
notes and moved some things around. I added references to using all the tools 
(dahdi_genconf, lsdahdi, dahdi_hardware, etc...) somewhere in this chapter now 
as well.

Thanks!
Leif.

Chapter 7: regarding DAHDI

1. Please avoid mentioning dahdi_dummy, as much as possible. It is
legacy. Also, if you need dahdi_dummy, maybe you're after a different
timing/conferencing source?

What I generally do is run:

  dahdi_genconf modules

This creates a proper modules file that "empty" for the case of no
hardware. If you have hardware, it will only put there the relevant
modules.


2. In the example output you have:

  $ sudo /etc/init.d/dahdi restart 
  Unloading DAHDI hardware modules: done 
  Loading DAHDI hardware modules: 
  No hardware timing source found in /proc/dahdi, loading dahdi_dummy 
  Running dahdi_cfg: [ OK ]

If one actually has hardware, and one has an empty (completely
remmed-out) modules file (as shown in the example above), he would run
that and would thing his system is properly configured, when in fact the
hardware was not configured.

Maybe give a note about system.conf before instructing to restart?


3. BRI

The simple and common case of BRI is quite similar to that of E1

Asterisk: The Definitive Guide -- Call For Reviewers

Leif Madsen — 2011-01-06T15:06:20

Hey all!

We're getting VERY close to having the first draft of the next Asterisk book, 
Asterisk: The Definitive Guide ready to be sent off to production. We're very 
close to meeting our target dates, but our review timeline is very tight. Only 
about 2 weeks!

Each morning we're continuing to work on the book, taking in your comments, 
reviewing chapters, testing dialplan and installation steps, and all that good 
stuff.

However, we've been looking at this book since May 2010 and our eyes are 
starting to get glazed :) We'd love for the community to have a look at the book 
and offer some constructive criticism.

It's far too late to take requests for things to cover. What we have is what 
we're going to get in for this edition. After we finish this book though we plan 
on continuing to update it, so there will be a chance to take suggestions again 
soon.

For now, head on over to http://ofps.oreilly.com and check out the book (updated 
this morning). There are a couple of bugs in the OFPS software which

SLA update

Philip Prindeville — 2010-07-19T22:32:37

  Ok, so I finally got asterisk trunk building in Astlinux... got the bug that was stopping SIP from working resolved (17665... thanks Mark!)... and have 11688 patching in after some tweaking... which should allow me to use SLA (and BLF) with my SPA-942's.

So I just need to get around to get around to writing and testing the SLA configs themselves.

Was going through the attachments on the bug itself, but it's a little cluttered and not clear which ones still apply.

Looking to help contribute to the documentation...

Philip A. Prindeville — 2010-03-11T17:18:49

Hi.

I work quite a bit with Asterisk as the lead developer of astlinux
(http://www.astlinux.org/).  That said, I'm a programmer not a telephony
troubleshooter, but I can program and I can write so I figured I could
contribute a few things.

I noticed that some of the documentation is a little thin/sparse, and in
a few cases hasn't been updated since 1.2.

I wanted to take a few of the examples of things--such as e.164
look-aside dialing or SLA--and update those, enhance the examples, and
get them back into the source tree.

It's been said that the sample configs are getting a bit long and hard
to follow...  That's true.  So I've been thinking that we could fragment
them, and then instruct people how to use 'include' directives to pull
in the features they find useful (kind of like how sendmail.mc uses the
FEATURE() .cf files).

I also found that certain functionality is counter-intuitive, and might
need to be documented better (like the SIP stuff).

I'd also suggest the following.  When the Starfish book wa
