I agree with Harry. I do not like the mailing list. Those that do like the mailing list always advocate Nabble. For those that advocate that solution, do you even realize that you can't post on Nabble unless you are subscribed to the mailing list? I am also not a fan of IRC. Before I came upon FreeSWITCH, I hadn't used IRC in years! I think I uninstalled my IRC client at the same time I uninstalled my NNTP reader. Most of the time, I actually find it difficult to obtain support in the #freeswitch channel. Once you ask the question, if somebody doesn't happen to be there that knows the answer, then you're screwed. How many times have I asked a question only to wait 30 seconds and then see, "anthm has joined #freeswitch." Crap...do I ask the question again? I have found the conversation in #openzap to be much more focused. Thank goodness I'm using that module! In that channel, I never see conversations about cd burners, somebody's girlfriend in South America, or off color jokes about someone's sexual proclivity. And because I know I'll get flamed for saying that, just look at this:

[23:11] <{tasker}> give me a latina any day
[23:11] <hmmhesays> best thing around here though

No, I've yet to contribute anything, I barely have my system doing
what I want. But I REALLY love Freeswitch and I want to see it BURY
Asterisk. (Windows server user here)

I've been struggling with the XML configs, trying to figure out what
does what and where! That's fine, I'm used to it. What I'm NOT used to
is the total lack of a forum-based community to join and participate
in! Where can users SHARE their configs, help each other, learn from
each others mistakes? No DEV forum? I'm speechless.

Let's be serious guys, mailing lists went out in the 90s! IRC is "meh"
at best! I want stickies, a forum for noobs, converts, a dev forum...
So on...

"WELCOME To FreeSWITCH!"

Am I asking too much here? A FORUM?

I can't see how you can spark interest when we're so sorely lacking
the most basic and widely used community environments on the net!

HELP SOMEBODY? Install SMF ASAP!

BTW: I hate people who voice problems without offering viable
solutions in the process... Disgusting! So if someone can offer up a
simple hosting account, Control Panel 10, Windows Linux whatever...
I'll be more than happy to have SMF setup and receiving user
registrations within 24 hours! I've done it dozens of times before. I
will then gladly turn over the keys to the kingdom to the "powers that
be" and take a backseat, being simply a happy user from that point on!

Please folks, please. I'm dying over here and I'm sure I'm not alone!
I'm searching Google and finding nothing!! FORUMS!
