The most likely explanation is that people have written these interfaces primarily for their own use, and when they decided to share with others, only had/made time to minimally document them. Do you understand that? You've got me doubting you can't understand such things, so I wonder why you *say* you don't understand. Unless you enjoy being a troll.

The manager interface isn't some mystical beast that can't be overcome. Try the wiki if you're lost. Really people scripting isn't that hard. If you don't like the way people do code, there's nothing stopping you from writing something new (except for lack of skill but that's why people do it for a living). You buy them books, send them to school and all they do is eat the pages. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Douglas Garstang Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 12:29 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion; jnovack@stromberg-carlson.org Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Manager Interface API's Actually, because there's no documentation, I don't have anything that I can use.> -----Original Message----- > From: Dovid Bender [mailto:asteriskusers@dovid.net] > Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 12:54 PM > To: jnovack@stromberg-carlson.org; Asterisk Users Mailing List - > Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Manager Interface API's > > > Some of them write it for them selves and out of the goodness > of thier heart > will put out there for free.

They have not provided a solution to anyones problem except their own, and have no added value to the open source community in any way, except to create 'vapourware' whereby software appears to be available, but is unusable, because no one can work out how to make it work.> > If you dont like something, then change it yourself, they are not > providing a payed service.

I think people develop the code, thinking they will write docs later on. By the time they get close to releasing their code, they've lost interest, or the priority of this project has decreased. It's human nature. The open source community then ends up with software thats unusable. Is it so ludicrous that if you develop an API that you document it? We're not talking about developing a fahrenheight-celcius converter in basic here. We're talking about an <A>pplication <P>rogramming <I>interface! It's a programming interface. It's not the same as some GUI where you can get an idea of how it works by using it. If an API doesn't have any docs, it's completely useless. Doug.

A documenation of the functions, arguments, classes, objects. 2. Some basic examples, because 1. means nothing without examples.

As I said in another post, this isn't some GUI where you can poke around with it and work out how it works by experimentation. Documentation of the API is essential. Why did they have time to write it, but suddenly run out of time when it came time to document? It's human nature to start something and lose interest. Given that documentation always happens at the end, it's what usually suffers.
The manager interface would be horrible to code an API for. I don't envy the people that have done it. I've been screen scraping with python and perl for years, but the the output is not standardised. For example a 'sippeers' command does not end with a '--END COMMAND--' while a 'sip show channels' command does.> -----Original Message----- > From: Don Fanning [mailto:don@00100100.net] > Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 1:30 PM > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > Subject: RE: [asterisk-users] Manager Interface API's > > > The manager interface isn't some mystical beast that can't be > overcome. > Try the wiki if you're lost.
