asterisk users - Dec 2003 - Asterisk Lists (was Re: Asterisk Business discussion again)

Why not create a listing of the Asterisk resellers.  Have a link off the
main Digium page and post what asterisk services that particular
reseller offers.  This way people who are just getting into asterisk
know where they can go for commercial support.  Maybe the reseller could
offer some sort of discounted rate for people who are referred to them
through digium?  This would boost sales for Digium big time because
people like things that work right away and if they have the resources
to quickly launch their Asterisk solution they will be motivated to
invest in more hardware IMHO.

You know, it strikes me that the best group to service newbies is
probably
the resellers.  Maybe there's a logical way to connect them together
through a mailing list?

That's a good idea.  There is already a resellers list on the Digium site,
but perhaps a line or two about specialities could be added.
