Welcome to the Asterisk Documentation Project!

We're currently working on a complete website re-design that has been slow in the making, but some related technologies that were required to keep the information up to date have been progressing nicely. We hope to have a new website up and running sometime in 2009. For now, you can obtain the most recent version of The Book (2nd edition) below. You can also find us idly chatting in #asterisk-doc on the Freenode IRC network (irc.freenode.net).
