You asked for feedback, so here goes.
Let me start by saying that I applaud your effort at getting involved in the
project. I wish i could write a scrap of code, as there's literally dozens of
things I'd like to contribute.
Now... onto AWG.
Personally, I'm not sure where this tool fits. It's too newbie for techos, and
too techo for newbies. There are a multitude of other gui config tools floating
around for SME customers, and some nifty user tools (like FOP, for example).

I posted last week that I would get out a release asap, so here it is.
Before I start in on putting up an actual website for it I thought I
would put out a beta release to get things going.
At this point there isn't a name for this project yet, as it's primarily
an internal piece of software that we have been developing. For now
I'll call it Asterisk web gui (AWG).
AWG has a particular focus, which is to provide an easy to use interface
for managing and monitoring asterisk, as well as a nice web interface
for voicemail users as well. We are trying to make it as easy to
install as possible. It plays nice with existing asterisk
installations, and it won't overwrite any of your existing asterisk
configuration. If you already have ruby installed on your system the
setup time should be around 15 minutes. Once you have done one or two
installations and know what the steps are, installation on a new system
should average 5-10 minutes at the most. We have tested it on Freebsd
and Debian. It should work on windows also.
AWG is not intended to help you install asterisk and do your basic
configuration. There are other software packages that do everything
from start to finish such as AMP. AWG is dictatorial software. We will
not include features by consensus unless they also fit our vision of
what a tool like this should include. That said we want all the
feedback we can get, particularly from businesses who are looking at it
as a solution they might deploy for their clients. Just realize that it
has a particular focus, and that's not going to change.
There are also a few features not currently present that are on our todo
list to get done asap. A basic interface for viewing CDR records, zap
channel configuration, and a page to monitor real time information such
as channels, peers, queues, etc..
There is a basic online demo at http://69.25.136.214:3000. The
administrative login is user admin, password 'changeme'. The user login
is username demo, password 'changeme'. At the moment there are not a
lot of script templates installed, but the ones that are there will give
you an idea of what you can do with the provisioning features. At the
moment the demo is running in development mode where the errors are
verbose and the code is reloaded for every page, so it's not as fast as
you would see in a production environment.
