OpenSIPS vision

The OpenSIPS vision consists in a "consolidated diversity" - OpenSIPS is an open source project not only as license, but also as policy regarding the contributions, cooperation and community.
The diversity comes from the large number of people involved in the development of the project and from the complexity and feature richness of OpenSIPS (it incorporates and integrates a large variety of functionalities and features, on top of the SIP routing engine).
To reach a high level of reliability and stability, all this diversity needs to be consolidated. The project brings a consolidate d view on the project management, on the project vision, on the design and code, on the work effort, on the project future.
