[sr-dev] Contributing platform specific code to Kamailio

[Carsten Bock]

Hi Tsvetomir,

any updates regarding this? I believe otherwise, I would assign
ressources from our side for this in February/March next year.
However, I would want to avoid double work.

You can share it privately with me, if you don't want to publish it yet.

Thanks,
Carsten
