[Freeswitch-dev] hello and question

[Matthew Kaufman]

I've been watching Freeswitch as a potential user for a while now (I 
used Asterisk for my last telephony project, Podlinez.net), but now I 
have need to do some even lower-level development and it looks like 
Freeswitch is a better choice than Asterisk... save one thing:

Where the heck is the documentation that a (C/C++) module-writer needs? 
I've started writing a new endpoint module, and I'm making pretty good 
progress by reading the source code for other modules, but I have looked 
and looked and can't find a good reference for "these are the switch 
functions that are private, these are the switch functions you call if 
you're an endpoint module, these are the events you'll be sent if you're 
an endpoint module, etc."

Speaking of which, a slightly different architecture/coding style might 
have made the interfaces between the modules and the insides more 
immediately clear... but in lieu of that, a good set of docs is going to 
be mandatory for people in my position. As it is, I'm doing ok, but my 
time is very valuable and not well-spent by figuring this stuff out from 
the source code instead of looking at the reference docs.

So, is there documentation that I just haven't found the secret link to? 
If there isn't, is there someone who knows this stuff who can whip up a 
short list of things I might need to know (especially "gotchas") as an 
endpoint developer to save me some time?
