Just a Reminder on asking for help on a problem...
Hey Guys, I know there are a pile of us that answer questions on the mailing list regularly and there are some of us that work with or on the core dev team that are very well versed in FS and can probably answer questions on ${random_problem_you_are_trying_to_figure_out}, but please don¹t just email one guy idk manon the dev team directly for help unless this is something they have explicitly asked you to do (or unless you are offering them some sort of compensation for helping you (read $$$$)). We have a Mailing list so that everyone can benefit from the free help, and so you can get answers faster. (how is it faster? If ${developer} isnt around maybe ${other_user} can help you out with your question. This frees up the devs to continue doing what they do best which is coding and fixing issues, and it just makes the community stronger. Also the mailing list is archived and heavily indexed by Google and other search engines which means maybe someone else can find they answer they are looking for later without even asking... Thanks for understand! See you at ClueCon! K
And also... if you have an issue that either you spend time figuring out or get help with, *please wikify <http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Main_Page> it *. It's quite easy to get an account and make changes -- that way the information is at hand in a somewhat organized format. (Although the install information has gotten awfully scattered). -Avi Marcus
