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?
