[Kamailio-Devel] [Kamailio-Users] the sip router project

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Olle,

I agree that merging Kamailio into SER is a good move, but experience 
taught me that the first impression is not all the time relevant. 
OpenSER project was not well received at the begining, but after some 
time, people were happy about it. Same with OpenSIPS - people failed to 
understand from the first minute the idea behind, but they did and they 
are happy.

But let's see the future deliverables and then decide.

For the moment there is too much noise - politics, discussions, 
re-organizing, hot topics, etc -  but few results (on technical side).

Thanks and regards,
Bogdan
