The documentation is lacking but growing http://docs.fusionpbx.com/en/latest/
We have actually been discouraged from documenting FusionPBX in the past as it was seen as a revenue source for the project, not the documentation as such, the training.
I think the lack of documentation though should not put you off as its the only major flaw, once you manage to get a grip of it its a very powerful, advanced PBX.

I would agree with this. As with many others, my primary experience is with FreePBX/Asterisk and I have found a lot of that knowledge to be quite transferrable. In my fairly short time testing things, there is actually a *lot* I like about FusionPBX over FreePBX (the true multi-tenant feature is probably the #1 killer, IMHO).
It is a shame that that the training is so expensive though (and the discouragement of documenting HOWTOs and such)... at this stage for myself (combination of just testing things out and also feeling I already know how to do a lot of the functionality of it), the price is a bit steep. If it was in the $295USD-$495USD range, I would probably whip my credit card out without almost a second thought and sign up.
FusionPBX code analysis might help get some appreciation of the work that went into it.

Now after all this people need documentation which is yet another good sized project for something like FusionPBX. The documentation has take some time. Open source can require some patience or some support to speed up the process.
