Thank you for your answer.
Unfortunately theres nothing new for me there. I think i already
read all public available documentation about SIPWITCH - even your
ubuntu 11.04 manual.
I would be very happy if you guys could update the documentation
by adding more examples, i.e. i want to VOIP with a friend over
the internet via Jitsi and a step by step config for SIPWITCH
would be very nice.
Already tried to register at
http://friendika.gnutelephony.org/login
two weeks ago, but did not get approved by the admin so far.
Well, i want to try it out, but without further documentation i
cannot do that. I wonder how i could if even a expierienced hacker
needs some days to get it up and running (
http://lee.rockingtiger.com/
- too bad the announced manual isn't online yet).

Hi, Gernot!
You are quite right that we need to update our documentation at
www.gnutelephony.org .
In the orange box on the front page are installation
instructions for GNU SIP
Witch 1.2.x for Debian 6.x Squeeze. By first using the package
manager and
adding the source of our packages, you can install sipwitch and
its plugins
the way you normally install packages.
After installation, you might benefit from visiting a newer
article than the
one you mentioned, called "GNU SIP Witch configuration" - see
link in orange
box. Here you can download an example configuration file to try
in your own
network.
I use CSipSimple on my Android devices as clients myself, but
since GNU SIP
Witch uses the open standard SIP to communicate, you should be
able to use
other standard compliant clients as well.
The primary development of all GNU Telephony tools happens on
Debian, Fedora
and Ubuntu in that order, but it is mostly automated. There are
some
differences between these distributions, and as you pointed out
our
documentation needs updating. I would like to say when I will be
able to do
that, but I'm afraid a better approach will be to watch the
orange box on the
front page for news items from time to time.
We recently discovered a bug in a not much used plugin, and this
plugin was
autoloaded on some systems, which caused the CPU load to spike.
I would
suggest people who have experienced this problem try again.
Our source archive is at www.gnutelephony.org/archive
, but a nice way to keep
up with current development is to add our Github RSS-feed to
your feed reader
or browser - https://github.com/dyfet.atom
The mailing list is one way of contacting us if you need help.
Another is
joining us at http://friendica.gnutelephony.org/
, our Friendica instance -
you are most welcome! Here we talk about a lot of other things
as friends, and
not just GNU Telephony.
Friendica is a decentralized and federated social network, and
GNU Telephony
has started developing an initial plugin to integrate chat and
VoIP into
Friendica through GNU SIP Witch.
In addition to Friendica, we want to create an Android client -
you can see
our proposed GUI at http://www.gnutelephony.org/index.php/GNU_Free_Call_GUI
.
Hopefully, this will not be too difficult to use.
If this was helpful, and you manage to get up and running,
perhaps - in time -
you can help out improving the documentation, offer more
configuration examples
and so on? That would be most helpful.
Yours sincerely,
Haakon Meland Eriksen, GNU Free Call, project coordinator
