This is a specialized piece of software and we are always prioritizing state-of-the-art features over making it easier for unexperienced users to deal with it. Anyway, if you got here it means that you are too, for now, looking at future network technologies and should be familiar with the concepts and specs. If you are not, we recommend that you first attend a few tutorials on IMS, Linux administration and C/Java programming; or you could hire somebody (from our community for example) to do the job for you.

It might be that in the future the networks would be so distributed that having IMS cores would be a commodity. But for now, they are not and we can not justify the resources spent on building nice GUIs when there are so many more important open issues.

That is not to say that we would reject you if you would like to invest your resources in making the Open IMS Core more user-friendly. We will always welcome anybody willing to contribute towards making the project better.
