I agree with you that the core functionality is the most important, and 
it should work flawlessly.  The work is focused on this goal currently. 
 If you look at recent commits, there are only fixes, and many fixes. 
It still seems that sometimes, these fixes break other parts of the 
software.  I suppose this is because SIP/H323 is very complex.

(People use ekiga, and complain, but few help...)
