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.

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. :-)

The basic foundation were not done from the community IMHO, but i agree, we 
could really use more help here.

Cheers,
