There are two primary websites for the FreeSWITCH project:
www.freeswitch.org: The main project page
wiki.freeswitch.org: The public wiki page
The FreeSWITCH main web page is the starting point for all things related to the project. From the main page you can do many things as follows:
Read up on FreeSWITCH and VoIP news
Download or browse the source code
Report bugs or feature requests
View documentation
Join the
#freeswitchIRC channel with the Freenode Java applet
New content is added to the main page every week, so check back frequently.
The FreeSWITCH wiki is the primary source for FreeSWITCH documentation. A wiki is a website that allows users to add, edit, or delete content and link to other content. A classic example of a wiki page is Wikipedia. The FreeSWITCH wiki page uses MediaWiki (http://www.mediawiki.org), the same wiki engine used by Wikipedia.
The FreeSWITCH wiki is a community resource. While Michael S. Collins is the primary wiki administrator, all FreeSWITCH users are welcome to add or update content on the site. Like most wiki sites there is a lot of content. Sometimes searching for information can be challenging. We recommend that you use Google site search (site:wiki.freeswitch.org <search topic>) if you are having trouble locating a particular subject. After using the wiki for a while you will begin to get a feel for where certain pieces of information are located.
Prospective wiki contributors should keep the following things in mind:
Do a search before adding content—it may be that the information you want to add is already on the wiki and simply needs to be updated or better indexed
Make sure that any content you add is properly linked to
Make sure that any content you add is part of a site category
Feel free to make mistakes! Others will be happy to help you make corrections
Documentation of open source software is almost always a challenge, so if you are in a position to assist, please contact Michael at [email protected]. There is always a need for skills such as proofreading, verifying facts, testing configurations and examples, and translating text into other languages.
