Hi, Gernot!
You are quite right that we need to update our documentation at
www.gnutelephony.org .
In the orange box on the front page are installation instructions for GNU SIP
Witch 1.2.x for Debian 6.x Squeeze. By first using the package manager and
adding the source of our packages, you can install sipwitch and its plugins
the way you normally install packages.
After installation, you might benefit from visiting a newer article than the
one you mentioned, called "GNU SIP Witch configuration" - see link in orange
box. Here you can download an example configuration file to try in your own
network.
I use CSipSimple on my Android devices as clients myself, but since GNU SIP
Witch uses the open standard SIP to communicate, you should be able to use
other standard compliant clients as well.
The primary development of all GNU Telephony tools happens on Debian, Fedora
and Ubuntu in that order, but it is mostly automated. There are some
differences between these distributions, and as you pointed out our
documentation needs updating. I would like to say when I will be able to do
that, but I'm afraid a better approach will be to watch the orange box on the
front page for news items from time to time.
We recently discovered a bug in a not much used plugin, and this plugin was
autoloaded on some systems, which caused the CPU load to spike. I would
suggest people who have experienced this problem try again.
Our source archive is at www.gnutelephony.org/archive , but a nice way to keep
up with current development is to add our Github RSS-feed to your feed reader
or browser - https://github.com/dyfet.atom
The mailing list is one way of contacting us if you need help. Another is
joining us at http://friendica.gnutelephony.org/ , our Friendica instance -
you are most welcome! Here we talk about a lot of other things as friends, and
not just GNU Telephony.
Friendica is a decentralized and federated social network, and GNU Telephony
has started developing an initial plugin to integrate chat and VoIP into
Friendica through GNU SIP Witch.
In addition to Friendica, we want to create an Android client - you can see
our proposed GUI at http://www.gnutelephony.org/index.php/GNU_Free_Call_GUI .
Hopefully, this will not be too difficult to use.
If this was helpful, and you manage to get up and running, perhaps - in time -
you can help out improving the documentation, offer more configuration examples
and so on? That would be most helpful.
Yours sincerely,
Haakon Meland Eriksen, GNU Free Call, project coordinator
