Agree, I think the author better to document the code first.
For a simple example: if you add a new param or channel variable, at
least should add an item to the wiki, so others knows there is a new
variable and try that add add detailed explanation or experience
further.

First off. I would not call it a "janitors project" since that may
offend some. A second problem is your notion that documentation is
"not-quite-as-important" a task as writing code. I'm think many
would say you have that backwards. There is nothing more effective
in evolving FreeSwitch than good documentation which helps further
development and is an important part of "customer service." Good
customer service is then a part of "sales and marketing." Much more
often than not, It's sales and marketing that is more important to
making something a "real product" than engineering. "Build it and
they will come" almost never works.
Anyway, I think you need a new name for this project.

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Call For Help: Janitor Projects
Dear FreeSWITCH Community:
As you know, FreeSWITCH has been growing leaps and bounds and it's
going to keep growing as the word spreads. The core development team
of Anthony, Mike, and Brian are very appreciative of the community's
help and involvement in the project. Simply put: the community is
awesome!
Some have asked how they can help. Most of us are not software
developers, but that doesn't mean we can't help to grow the
FreeSWITCH ecosystem. To this end I've started a "janitor projects"
wiki page:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Janitor_Projects
We say "janitor" projects because they are things that help keep the
project clean and organized, just like the janitor cleans an office,
takes out the trash, replaces the toilet paper, etc. These are
valuable services that we sometimes take for granted. However, I
think we can all appreciate that the FreeSWITCH project would be
better served if the developers could focus on writing code, fixing
bugs, etc. and not on the easier, not-quite-as-important janitorial
tasks. To that end we are inviting all who wish to volunteer to
please visit the above wiki page and check out some of the projects
listed so far. Email me off list if you'd like to volunteer to help.
I'm maintaining a list of "janitors" and what they are helping with.
If you have ideas for other janitor projects then by all means email
them to me and we'll discuss them.
Thanks again for being such a great community!
