FreeSwitch - Skype4COM or SkypeKIT we are using?
NOTE: Please have a look: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=637293&st=0&p=2897693entry28976... I am completely now confused: Does that mean Skype Module in FreeSwitch will be dead or is dead? Does that mean Skype Module in FreeSwitch, can now handle 100 to 300 or 999 simultaneous calls? Does that mean Skype Module in FreeSwitch, will be never needed? Does that mean Skype Module in FreeSwitch, will need to be completely renew after running it for months? Thank you Best regards

I am completely now confused:

No. A Skype module will always be required for FreeSWITCH to talk to Skype, and the existing one will continue to work just fine.

The Skype module is currently unchanged. Your concurrent calls will be the same as before.
Does that mean Skype Module in FreeSwitch, will be never needed?
No, a Skype endpoint module will always be required for FreeSWITCH to talk to Skype. It *may* mean that mod_skyopen will end up being rewritten to use the SDK which would have advantages - removing the reliance on running a separate client, allowing it to run on non-Linux systems and increasing the number of channels possible. But the cost, terms and licensing of the SDK isn't clear yet and until they are it won't be possible to know whether this will be possible. I'm not the developer of mod_skyopen - whoever is would be able to give the best answer on how likely it is that mod_skypopen will be updated to use the SDK.
Does that mean Skype Module in FreeSwitch, will need to be completely renew after running it for months?
It means there might be a new version to upgrade to at some point. But you'll want to be upgrading FreeSWITCH to get bugfixes periodically anyway so that's not an issue. If you don't upgrade the previous version will continue working just fine. I doubt the interface would change with an upgrade (the developers will strive to avoid any big changes so as to be backwards compatible), so it'd just be a case of recompiling and updating the mod_skypopen configuration.
Thank you Best regards

I'm one of the developers of mod_skypopen, and I concur completely with Steven. mod_skypopen will continue to live and strive, and will continue to be exactly as in its wiki page. As Public Enemy says: "Don't believe the hype!" -giovanni -- Sincerely, Giovanni Maruzzelli Cell : +39-347-2665618
