Sorry to strongly disagree. The decision needs to be made by one person or a small group who see what Asterisk is and where it's going. Just because they got it wrong the first time and you've learned it does not make it right. And in my experience projects directed by the users without the oversight of a very small group with the projects best interest and a clear vision of the future become lost and unusable. I think the best projects come when the leaders are smart enough to say, "We've heard what you want, here's what you need." Why no one stood up and said "What are you thinking" when the word "core" was added to the syntax escapes me as it seems to have been a giant step backwards. Adding the alias file seems like it makes the problem even worse, while I can now comfortably work on my Asterisk box, I will be completely lost on anyone else's box. Defining a language is a non-trivial problem and getting it wrong is ever so much easier than getting it right Ira -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
