It's great that there are people who are looking for additional ways to improve Asterisk. However, I second the opinion that too many patches and additions are/were sitting idle without being added in the project. Some of them were important and/or useful IMHO. Even though personally I only made a few additions and patches here and there for the chan_h323 and chan_ooh323 as well as testing and bug submissions, personally I felt discouraged to continue sending improvements, after the first initial ones. Some of the later ones that I didn't send just sit idle on my hard drive and now that Asterisk has moved to version 1.6 they are just out of date. I believe that mine is only an example of a small (perhaps negligible) amount of contribution that was lost. I am pretty sure that many other developers with more serious contribution than mine feel the same. Perhaps I am missing the whole picture here, but IMHO, unless there is a way to integrate into the project the current, free of charge contribution that already exists, I don't know what good development funding would do. Just my 2 Eurocents.
