Look at it this way, Marshal. Let's say you get up on Friday morning and your wife wants to go out to dinner that night. At 6 PM you find out that every restaurant within 500 miles of your house has closed up and gone out of business, with the exception of one; Freddy's Diner. So you have no choice. You have to take the wife to Freddy's. And the only thing you'll get to eat at Freddy's is whatever Freddy decides to feed you. If Freddy doesn't want you have Apple Pie, you aren't going to get any Apple Pie. No matter how much you beg Freddy..... I've only been playing with this stuff for about a month. I'd never seen Linux. Some documentation I found assumed that I was proficient with Linux, which I'm not. So banging around in Google finding bits and pieces was a learning experience; I don't like to just make something work, I want to know how it works so that if it breaks, I can fix it. Documentation at all levels is a good thing. The more the merrier. As long as Google is still in business, it's available to anybody that wants to go find it. All the scripts in one place sounds like a terrific idea to me. Hopefully the guys who wrote them won't assume I know how to use them when I find them. That being said, does anybody know where I can find the fan script? My radio is hot.... 73, Jim KH2D On 1/30/2012 2:18 PM, Marshall Oldham wrote:
Scott,
That is a very generous offer on your part, but wouldn't it be better to keep everything all in one place for folks to go use as a reference? Especially new allstar node owners?
So, I will state this question again. Am I missing something? Why doesn't anyone want to use the official help site?
If you go to the allstar.org webpage and click on the link that says "help" it will take you to the another page.
If you click on "Links To Helpful Things Pertaining to this Technology"
The first thing that comes up is "Asterisk/app_rpt project -- Lots of good documentation on the Asterisk app_rpt application"
You click on that link and it takes you to http://ohnosec.org/drupal/
So why can't documentation, information and scripts be posted on this website which was setup by the app_rpt creators?
After all, isn't this site kind of the "Official" site for support?
I don't think it's a good idea to have several fragmented websites with information when we already have the official one that is pretty good. Having multiple websites will confuse new users on where to get information.

I'm sure others will chime in (hint, hint...) <-- Since allstarnode.com was designed to be a peer-to-peer BB system for ALL flavors of AllStar builds, I can make public FTP space available on there if it's needed/desired.

I'm new on the list as of last night. A couple of questions. Where do you hide the scripts? And is it OK to post links on the list? Welcome to the collective. We're a pentium borg. You will be approximated...;) Seriously, hop on and enjoy the ride.
Hide as in where it is on your system, or where we're all hiding the juicy stuff we've developed? The NJPAASTERISK group, of which I'm one of the operators, have standardized on a scripts directory in the /etc/asterisk hierarchy (well, most of us have anyway..) to make it easier to backup the configuration and shorten deployment cycle time. Others put them in /etc or /usr/sbin or ??? Guess it goes where you feel it should be. Just be consistent. That means that, when you write something, you're pretty sure of where it should reside, and makes it easier to find 'stuff' that's directly applicable to your operation. It also means that, if you glom on to a script or app that someone else has written, you have to do some editing to make it work (pretty much standard when using others' works...) in your operation. As to the latter question...well, that topic came up yesterday, with no resolution. I have a repository for my weather scripts that I hacked/wrote/modified at http://www.wb0yle.com/weather.htm, Kyle has some stuff on his site...I'm sure others will chime in (hint, hint...) if they have anything they'd like to make public...
And, I don't think there is any blanket prohibition against posting links.
