I've setup Asterisk w/ and w/o the AMP UI. And I love the UI. For me
Asterisk is a means to an end: provide and mediate communication. If
it means I can do it better with a GUI tool, then that is a huge huge
benefit.
So far I think AMP writes out relatively good config files. Plus
having a web interface is easier to do some of the mundane things.
There are times I go into the config files and edit them by hand, but
that is the exception rather than the rule.
AMP is not perfect (ie: it should allow me to delegate tasks to
people, should have more options to edit configurations, should have
a way to rollback your changes, etc.). But for free... It's a really
good tool.
And if you one day don't like it... You can always stop using it and
roll your changes by hand!

Folks,
I am not a huge fan of using a GUI to configure Asterisk, simply
because I
feel it adds bloat to the system and limits choice.
Having said that, it would sometimes be nice to offer a simple
interface
that would allow chinging user names, mailbox info, DIDs and so forth.
So, what I'd like to ask is for people's opinions on a nice, simple,
lightweight front end for handling some of the more mundane bits of
configuration. AMP/[EMAIL PROTECTED] is certainly a worthy effort, but far too
much, to my
way of thinking.
Thoughts? Opinions? Experiences?
Obliged.
