As it stands now this list is kind of useless. Most request for
assistance with asterisk problems go unresolved of unanswered.
Lists with this number of new members have a repetiveness of the same
questions which people sometimes get tired of answering. Which is too
bad.
However, even though it seemingly does not directly aid asterisk users
it does so indirectly. People on this list grow into becoming lemonade
stand operators and maybe even bigger service providers.
It is often done because people realize that "Wow, I can do it too!".
Unfortunately it's not something that lives in the world of the
Internet, but enters the heavily controlled area of phones. An area
droght with difficulties for any newcomer.
The thread is showing and giving reason to be a bit better prepared when
entering into this particular service industry. As such it is of great
importance to those wise enough to take note. For the rest it's just
noise.
One could probably argue effectively for an Asterisk-Basic list. Or an
Asterisk-Advanced user list. Something that makes it easier to get
started without being overwhelmed by 10,000-15,000 users posts. A place
that frequently posted links to the beginner pages on the wiki.
