Really, FreeSWITCH isn't rocket science. It's usually the user itself makes it look like rocket science. On a serious side of things, if you can freaking code a webpage, you can use FreeSWITCH. XML and HTML aren't too distant from each other. If you can code in JS or .Net, you can even build custom modules for FreeSWITCH using the API. Heck, with the ODBC-SQL interfaces, you can even build an application revolving around FreeSWITCH by having your application to look at that database that FreeSWITCH uses for calls and what not. There's even a great book written for FreeSWITCH by the authors. On Sun, Nov 13, 2011 at 9:04 AM, Henry Huang <b_ball_henry@hotmail.com> wrote:
Nothing. It's just hard to change the way people used to do things. I'd say if we can use existing FreePBX (version 2) to control underlying FreeSWITCH, then people will be jumping ship.
But, that's just for IP PBX side of business. Wholesale or dialer application developer has been adopting the FreeSWITCH solution instead of Asterisk in general.
Which side of critical mass are you referring to? (IP PBX or?)

Some recent frustrations with Asterisk have me looking at FreeSWITCH, but it’s lack? of adoption leaves me wondering.
Here are some questions I have as a long time Asterisk user, dCAP, and Astricon attendee.
Why hasn’t FreeSWITCH reached a critical mass?
Is the XML configuration that scary?
What does Asterisk have that FreeSWITCH doesn’t?
Does FreeSWITCH need better documentation and/or tutorials?
Is it git?
Would a FreeSWITCH certification help?
I want to help the FreeSWITCH project, but I’m not developer or philanthropist , what can I do? _________________________________________________________________________ Professional FreeSWITCH Consulting Services: consulting@freeswitch.org http://www.freeswitchsolutions.com
