As I'm a new Kamailio user I agree that Kamailio could be difficult at the beginning,
but I totally do not agree to the fact that reading documentation is a waste of time!
What I found online is that it's true that there are so many tutorials out there, but
sometimes I found that they refer to old version of OpenSER and sometimes syntax is little
different, but as everything in the IT world there is nothing anyone will
install/configure and it will work out of the box, at least you have to study the
architecture and learn how the software will going to act. Maybe that the software works
out of the box will use a standard behaviour, and no special needs.. You talked about
Asterisk, but for me it's so easy to install a FreePBX, open the webpage, make some
basic configuration and that's it..
In my past experience in IT I can say that I really hate the "5 minutes man"
that suppose everything is up and running in 5 minutes, everything is so easy that any
monkey could do that..
BTW, I would love to see some updated real world tutorials on Kamailio as in my case
it's 15 days I'm fighting with no success with Carrier Route module and I'm
not able to send outbound calls....in my case, if I was on Freeswitch those calls were
already sent out..but this is another story.
Thanks
Max

Hello,
Kamailio is difficult. Many of us want to use it because is open source

with it I am frustrated, and I am starting to hate it!
I hate to hear that you are starting to hate the software... many of us truly love it. I
find one correction to your main statement.
SIP is difficult. Kamailio is flexible. The more you understand and know SIP, the easier
using Kamailio becomes.
Why has nobody made a kamailio video series on youtube?

This is 2014, people don’t waste time reading
documentation, youtube is much more efficient...

I for one have almost zero interest in making videos of configuring software. Plus, I
have a face for radio. ;)
Some of us make tutorials... I have made two of them, and they get a lot of readers; so I
do think it's not a waste of time.
If you're good at making videos, this would be a great way for you to contribute to
the software.
The vast majority of asterisk videos I see aren't made by Digium or the Asterisk
devs... but instead by either hardware companies selling asterisk based hardware,
enthusiasts, or support vendors.
Again, this might be a great way for you to contribute.
