This is open source
and as soon as we get community involved, the project evolves much
better. Couple of us worked full time for the past two months to get the
modules integrated. This cannot last for too long time and I prefer to
get out with something that is not that perfect, but in this way get
more potential work force.
Hi Daniel,
i agree. But then we should communicate this correctly. Instead of announcing
something that is almost done, we need to point out clearly the areas where
issues exists, and also providing pointers where help is really appreciated.
Nobody will get a penny for digging up and write
documentation.
Well, my employee also pays me to do work at the documentation (in kamailio so
far). So it seems that some people did care in this areas too. If this is a
capacity or resource problem with regards to some developing efforts, perhaps
one of the (bigger) companies involved here can think about hiring a
technical writer? Just an idea. :-)
From
past experience, docs achievements in openser was done with large
contribution of the community. From the group involved now, there are
not so many that contributed to the wiki or the rest of docs resources
so far, therefore we need more to help here.
The basic foundation were not done from the community IMHO, but i agree, we
could really use more help here.
Cheers,
Henning
