with sip-router and K modules are there. In this way we learn what are
the most used parts and make them work quicker. There is still lot of
work to do, in regard to MI, statistics, additional processes. I prefer
to work on something people use, rather than doing blind coding. I am
not using most of the modules out there, therefore I am not able to test
them properly.
Somehow I feel you think about a release -- we are far from there.
Hi Daniel,
ok, perhaps i misunderstood you here, just want to make it sure that we don't
create false expectations.
we need to
point out clearly the areas where
issues exists, and also providing pointers where help is really
appreciated.
Are you happy with K documentation? Well, main page of
kamailio.org has
in bottom right corner a poll, it is there for quire some time. Guess
what community think needs to be improved. Documentation will never be
satisfactory for everybody, but it grows with the number of people using
the application.
Sure, i know that we've many issues in kamailio documentation, and the poll
you mentioned mirrors also my impressions i got from user contacts. For a
project of this size there are always several issues in docs, as well in the
code.
The basic
foundation were not done from the community IMHO,
I think all modules have docs, but not all up to date. The foundation is
there, take a module, digg the sources and add what is missing in the
readme. Even simply listing the functions and parameters to docbook with
the note: "Needs content" is a step forward and great help. It is pretty
simple to get out of mod interface:
- parameter name and type
- function name, number of parameters, where it can be used
- name for exported PV, MI/RPC commands, ...
Others can come latter and complete.
Good suggestion, perhaps we can start a wiki page with modules that needs some
work on the documentation side, or open bug reports against them.
Cheers,
Henning
