[Freeswitch-users] Call For Help: Janitor Projects

[seven]

Agree, I think the author better to document the code first.

For a simple example: if you add a new param or channel variable, at  
least should add an item to the wiki, so others knows there is a new  
variable and try that add add detailed explanation or experience  
further.
