Hello,

thanks Diego for the feedback! Some comments inline:

Yes, I agree this is something very important. We should try to respond to 
all queries.

Btw, I guess in this case your mail was responded to in the end, but 
nevertheless, there have been other mails on this list that never got an 
answer, so we could do better.

Yeps, this has been raised by others as well. Big thanks go to Nickolay 
for starting the tutorial page at our wiki.

I do hope that the growing supply of example/reference code will aid 
somewhat in the areas where our documentation is currently lacking. Also I 
think we should continue improving our doxygen documentation (especially 
to make it more easy to navigate). The doxygen docs have the big advantage 
that they are linked 1:1 to our version control system.

A good idea, let's start right away:
http://wiki.opensource.nokia.com/projects/Sofia-SIP_FAQ

Another good one. First, I think we need help in getting our "how to help" 
page in shape. :) I put a start at:

http://wiki.opensource.nokia.com/projects/SofiaHowToHelp

I had more text already, but Firefox crashed (ugh, this was a first time 
for me with wikis -- I should know better), when I hit save. Feel free to 
improve and add things to the list.

Hmm, a good idea as well -- the doxygen stuff can be generated locally 
(and for instance on debian you can get it with 'apt-get install 
sofia-sip-doc'), we should probably advertize this option better.
