[Serusers] [Sems] SIP Express Bundle - let's get started

[Greger V. Teigre]

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for volunteering. I think you are in the best position to judge 
which applications are in popular demand and should be included.  In the 
initial release, I think we should focus on things that do not have 
external dependencies (i.e. PSTN etc), as this will probably complicate 
things. I prefer to create a focused, limited-functionality 1.0 release 
and then rather quickly add more stuff instead of taking forever with 1.0.

I think we should focus on enterprise-type apps in the beginning.
