However, you can simply run "make asterisk.pdf" to generate it yourself. We may include it in release tarballs or have automatically generated ones on the web site, but that has yet to be decided. ........ git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@58932 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3

+DUNDi is essentially a trusted, peer-to-peer system for being able to
+call any phone number from the Internet. DUNDi works by creating a
+network of nodes called the "DUNDi E.164 Trust Group" which are bound by
+a common peering agreement known as the General Peering Agreement or
+GPA. The GPA legally binds the members of the Trust Group to provide
+good-faith accurate information to the other nodes on the network, and
+provides standards by which the community can insure the integrity of
+the information on the nodes themselves. Unlike ENUM or similar
+systems, DUNDi is explicitly designed to preclude any necessity for a
+single centralized system which could be a source of fees, regulation,
+etc.
+
+Much less dramatically, DUNDi can also be used within a private
+enterprise to share a dialplan efficiently between multiple nodes,
+without incurring a risk of a single point of failure. In this way,
+administrators can locally add extensions which become immediately
+available to the other nodes in the system.
