Everyone, What I want to see is someone to start a wiki page that is a TODO list for missing documentation and then for *everyone* who uses FreeSWITCH to think back to their first impression and what things they wish were spelled out better and add it to that page. Or at the very least submit your account to this mailing list thread. Or maybe add unanswered questions to the FAQ page for people to fill in? Something....? All I have heard are blanket statements like: "There is little or no documentation..." This is a very relative statement. What exactly do you want to see? For instance the API is well-documented with doxygen but if you don't plan to code anything then that is not any help for you. There are getting started guides and dialplan guides but maybe you don't understand the paradigm behind the software enough. There are nearly 500 wiki pages but maybe none of them tell you what you want to know? I obviously do not need any documentation since I invented most of this stuff off the top of my head and it all makes perfect sense to me. I am offering to push for this for everyone else's sake. This is the whole point of a community project so what we need is feedback or I will consider it safe to assume we are already as well-documented as we can be.

Ahh you kept saying people who 'cant' which led me to believe you were talking about people who cant as opposed to wont. If they wont add, why would they add to something else? So I am still confused why there needs to be a "second class" documenter. Those that request others do things for themselves that they wont.
How can they add/improve documentation if they can't understand how things work? What they can do is to tell us what they don't understand or if they are missing something. But how should they do that? And do they know that they can give us feedback? _______________________________________________ Freeswitch-users mailing list Freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends.
