I, for one, didn't take his comment as anything other than constructive
Lack of documentation is an issue, open source or not.
It is an unfortunate situation that many very smart coders understand
what they have created, but are unwilling or unable to supply enough
information for many others to make effective use of their creation
How many have struggled through the years with uncommented or poorly
commented code when the original creator is off to greener pastures?

Douglas. Please take this as a constructive comment. I have followed
your questions in asterisk-dev and users lists, and you always seem to
make non constructive comments about the people giving code/work for
Free. And you focus in the negative part, never giving importance to
the positive things about it.
If you dont like something, then change it yourself, they are not
providing a payed service. The source is available AS-IS if you want
it, and if you like it, take it; If you dont, just ignore it, try to
not make peyorative comments.

out how it works, I'm going to go and look at someone elses, that may

some BASIC documentation and examples.

Probably cause it is someone like most of us sitting at home doing
it...releasing it for free...so why would we write pages of
documentation
for it?
If it's open source and it's free...Then offer them some money to make
documentation for it hehe...

Subject: [asterisk-users] Manager Interface API's
Can anyone recommend the best Manager Interface API, putting language
preferences aside?
The python and perl ones have bupkiss documentation. I can't
understand why
anyone would even write an api and make it publically available without
documenting it.
Doug.
