[Larry Edelstein]

You are then volunteering for something?

>  First off. I would not call it a "janitors project" since that may offend
> some. A second problem is your notion that documentation is
> "not-quite-as-important" a task as writing code. I'm think many would say
> you have that backwards. There is nothing more effective in evolving
> FreeSwitch than good documentation which helps further development and is an
> important part of "customer service." Good customer service is then a part
> of "sales and marketing." Much more often than not, It's sales and marketing
> that is more important to making something a "real product"  than
> engineering. "Build it and they will come" almost never works.
>
> Anyway, I think you need a new name for this project.

>  Dear FreeSWITCH Community:
>
> As you know, FreeSWITCH has been growing leaps and bounds and it's going to
> keep growing as the word spreads. The core development team of Anthony,
> Mike, and Brian are very appreciative of the community's help and
> involvement in the project. Simply put: the community is awesome!
>
> Some have asked how they can help. Most of us are not software developers,
> but that doesn't mean we can't help to grow the FreeSWITCH ecosystem. To
> this end I've started a "janitor projects" wiki page:
>
> http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Janitor_Projects
>
> We say "janitor" projects because they are things that help keep the
> project clean and organized, just like the janitor cleans an office, takes
> out the trash, replaces the toilet paper, etc. These are valuable services
> that we sometimes take for granted. However, I think we can all appreciate
> that the FreeSWITCH project would be better served if the developers could
> focus on writing code, fixing bugs, etc. and not on the easier,
> not-quite-as-important janitorial tasks. To that end we are inviting all who
> wish to volunteer to please visit the above wiki page and check out some of
> the projects listed so far. Email me off list if you'd like to volunteer to
> help. I'm maintaining a list of "janitors" and what they are helping with.
> If you have ideas for other janitor projects then by all means email them to
> me and we'll discuss them.
>
> Thanks again for being such a great community!
