Added: trunk/www/news/10182 Log: added a news update from Bayonne Added: trunk/www/news/10182 =================================================================== --- trunk/www/news/10182 2006-07-07 09:49:37 UTC (rev 8530) +++ trunk/www/news/10182 2006-07-11 15:30:55 UTC (rev 8531) @@ -0,0 +1,39 @@ +Title: Updates from GNU Bayonne +Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] +Date: 2006-07-11 + +There have been many recent and interesting developments with GNU +Bayonne, some of which directly relate to the practical aspects of it's +use within GNU Enterprise. + +First, we have recently introduced Bayonne web services. This is a +lightweight XML service which allows other application servers (and end +user applications) to invoke Bayonne features and functions over HTTP. +There is an initial reference implementation of a Perl module to use +Bayonne web services in CPAN, and a partially completed Python module. + +The obvious use of such services would be to enable telephone related +operations in gnue. The most basic example that comes to my mind is +enabling pop-up dialing requests using contact information (phone +numbers, etc) that may be found in various forms. Other possibilities +could include scheduling automated calls, etc. + +Second, recent releases of GNU Bayonne2 have re-introduced XML form +parsing. This allows Bayonne to request a XML document from a web +server, and then offer documents using speech synthesis and telephone +keypad navigation. This suggests the possibility of Bayonne operating +as a GNUE telephone form "client", an idea once advocated within GNU +Enterprise. + +Third, we are introducing features over the next 6 months to support the +use of GNU Bayonne as a complete stand-alone office phone system. To +support this, GNU Bayonne 2 makes use of a feature known as service +bindings, and these can be used to integrate meta data for users, +extensions, etc, which could be managed from a GNUE hosted database and +forms clients as part of a complete integrated business solution. + +Each of these areas of development suggest new and interesting ways in +which GNU Bayonne can come closer to serving an originally intended role +as a communications server within GNU Enterprise framework as a whole. +Most news and up to date information about GNU Bayonne can be found on +the GNU Telephony wiki, found at http://wiki.gnutelephony.org. _______________________________________________ commit-gnue mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/commit-gnue
