I've seen the question asked a few times already, along the lines of "Who's really using Asterisk out there, and what for?" or "Would Asterisk be right for me?" etc.
I've been thinking about it more lately as I may have the opporunity to consult and/or install a system in the near future. I'm a bit apprehensive, as installing a system with a T1 PRI and a couple of channel banks to feed local phones is slightly bigger scale than me playing with my developers kit with one FXO, one FXS and a bunch of SIP phones :-) Asterisk is obviously being used in earnest out there, I've read through the mailing list and seen some of the bug notes - the guy who's running a call centre through Asterisk and wanted to announce queue position and/or expected wait time springs to mind as an example of a real world business using Asterisk on a daily basis, depending on it etc. I'm wondering about putting something similar to the Linux Counter (http://counter.li.org/) together that would allow people to register their real world installations, documenting hardware specs, setup, phones used etc? Not only would it give me a little bit more confidence in pushing it forward as a solution to my friend's problem (who said never do business with friends you value?!) but as well would stand as a testiment to the success of Asterisk. Any thoughts from the list? I've got no firm structure/design in mind, but have spare cycles right now and would love to knock something together in PHP.
