Louay had also contacted me, some time ago, and although I did find the above links too when searching for references, it didn't affect my decision much at all. My decision not to proceed, as I explained to Louay at the time (2003), was that asterisk was in a constant state of flux so any book would have been out of date before it was published. Mark has already made the 2 "current" books out of date with changes to CVS. The only time it makes sense to me to write a book is at version 1.0, where at least you have something that's static to base it on. I would comment, however, that making the books out of date before they are delivered is not a particularly sensible decision (again imho) since asterisk seriously lacks documentation. Anything that helps that situation should be embraced and dare I say used and abused to futher the cause.
