Richard,

The site seems to be down right now.  Interesting how we take it for 
granted, no?

There was a thread earlier where someone asked about the wiki as well.

I hope its not down for long...

Warm Regards,

Lee

It is down.  Two options, search in Google, click on cached and then
click on cached text only at the top.

A friend of mine was on the site yesterday, late morning, when he
refreshed his screen, a banner came across the web page "VOIP SUCKS"
and then the site was no longer available.  I'm pretty sure the site
was compromised by some hacker trying to prove a point or make a
statement.  Not to throw stink on anyone or group, but maybe it was
someone from a competing open source VoIP project or one of the Big
Iron VoIP System Manufacturers.  Probably just some cracker with too
much time on their hands.  I feel like someone shot my dog, please get
the site back up as soon as possible.

Thanks.

I think Digium should host a wiki (keeping if vendor neutral of course).


This seems to be the most complete backup of voip-info.org but it is
fairly old http://web.archive.org/web/20051013074214/voip-info.org/wiki/
unless someone else spidered it more completely and recently. 

Even if VoIP-info comes back online, I think Digium or the Asterisk
documentation project should spider VoIP-info or at the least, the
snapshot from above and take over the effort.  

When was Paul Mahler's book published?  That was almost an exact cut and
paste of the wiki ;-)

It should not be run by someone who can just pull the plug one day.

Heck, with the introduction of version 1.4, start from scratch.  There
was a lot of junk mixed in with a lot of golden nuggets on Voip-info.

Thanks,
