I disagree. I can see a use for visual tools, but would still want to be
able to dive into the code underneath if I was struggling to get the GUI to
achieve what I wanted.

I would imagine you would use the Asterisk GUI or not, not both, thus
eliminating the problem of the files being over written.
I tried all day yesterday just to install Asterisk NOW with the Freepbx GUI
on a Soekris 5501, and had no luck, so having it built on astlinux would be
a great asset.

My only concern with GUI Asterisk editing is how nicely it sits alongside
manual editing of the files. Are any of the visual tools out there
nont-violent to the underlying files they are editing, and do they happily
read manual changes?

If someone wants to point me in the direction of how to help, I would be
more than happy to - although the fact that I'm asking probably means I'm a
little out of my league.
I was even willing to download the source and do a custom build, but I don't
think that would help with this kind of project?

The astlinux interface does little to help configure the Asterisk PBX....
for dialplan, extensions, trunks, etc. it is all manual editing of the .conf
files. For power users this is great, but does make it harder than it could
be.
I have used the Asterisk GUI and it has its own set of issues. There
doesn't seem to be much investment in it by Digium either.
Astlinux does need a GUI for Asterisk PBX configuration. In my option the
astlinux team should not try and write their own, but should pick an
existing one and integrate it (as an optional package).

Darryl,
Of course, there's a wonderful alternative to using CLI for
configuration changes: I'm quite fond of the AstLinux web interface,
which combines oodles of capability in a far friendlier setting than a
command line.
Admittedly, I wouldn't encourage non-technical clients to use it for
dial-plan changes in a production environment, so I see your point.
However, I thought it might be helpful to clarify this point for others
who may come across this dialog while browsing through the archives.
