[OpenSIPS-Users] How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

[Bradley, Todd]

Who let in the troll?  Anonymous coward!

One thing I will say, though, as someone who has tried to learn enough OpenSIPS to use it and then posted to the email list for help: It is more difficult to ask intelligent questions about OpenSIPS than many open source tools out there, just because it's so difficult to get started.  The introductory-level documentation is weaker than average.  Even the "cookbooks" are written such that they only make sense if you're already an experienced administrator of the software.


Cheers,
Todd.
