Welcome Jody. FreeSWITCH is a great project with a wonderful Community. 
I recommend the FreeSWITCH book to get started. Obviously you have found 
your way to the mailing list. The #freeswitch channel on 
irc.freenode.net and the FreeSWITCH conference are also great places to 
discuss in real-time all things FreeSWITCH. And should you be willing to 
document your experiences setting up your project then the wiki is the 
place to go.

Regards,
Patrick
