I've been considering doing this as well... something like a "dial list", with a delay before dialing and a timeout for each entry.
Delay before dialing and timeout for each entry? I think I follow your choice in words there, your saying - forgive possible stupid syntax - something like 'tech/id[delay:timeout]' where delay determines how long before dial even tries that device and timeout is the same thing as the overall dial timeout - only it applies per device. This would mean that you could have one phone start ringing, a few seconds later start ringing another phone, and then while the second phone is still ringing, stop ringing the first phone? Did I follow your thought process correctly there?
Thinking this through, before you put too much into implementing this, it might be a good idea to merge Dial and RetryDial because this whole concept of a dial list would need the functionality of RetryDial. Come to think of it, maybe it would be easier to create a 'DialList' app? Just letting my mind wander here... feel free to use your judgment.
I'll probably implement it anyway, but if there is a bounty attached it will get done sooner :-)
Excellent. I'll see if I can put my money where my mouth is :) - No promises though :( I will say that I'm willing to help test this once its done.
