Linkas,

Unexperienced ?? Any system needs an interface description otherwise it is
totally useless.

This forum has a lot of people, whose names I find in the relevant code dated
years back, but even if these names also appear in the documentation, their
actual accomplishments there leave something to be desired in this case.
Quoting the first sentence in the user guide "This document describes how to
install and use Kannel,..."

I can only say, that most programmers (myself included) find it much more fun
coding new fancy features, but what use are these fancy features if the
programmer is the only one knowing about this ? 

How about changing the Kannel project, so no new features are added unless
there is also a user guide update accompanying the feature ?

Isn't there a wish for the participants to have their work used by many people
? That can only be accomplished when a product is easy to use.

Bad suggestion. There is no PHP-code describing that. If you search for the
term "Service Indication" you will find only 4 lines in the source files.

I managed to deduce one interface as a HTTP POST with a MIME multipart/related
part including two parts as the pap and si documents from the test_ppg code,
but that is probably only a partial truth. This was after wasting several
hours, which could have been avoided by a few lines in the documentation.

Thank you, Kannel WAP programmers! 

I don't volunteer to update the documentation with this because, I don't know
how complete and accurate my newly acquired knowledge is. Furthermore I find
it more appropriate, that the persons actually having designed the interface
finish their work.
