Hello All I have recently joined the list. I am very interested in this post regarding audionblogging. Does anyone have the full specifications needed for the voice server? Unix .. bandwidth etx , scripts etc.. I might see if I could set one up?
I am about to install and try out phoneblogger and see if I can link it up onto wordpress and movable type on my server has anyone used it and could advise or offer insights. I work in education in the UK, I have an MA level education, as a freelance consultant to develop the use of open source in education, I also do hands on web development work and teaching in classrooms and have a hosting service on which I can allocate space on as a free OS community resource. Incidentally am a woman (re digital divide thread on gender). I am new to this project area but was interested to do anything I can to empower and enable schools and educationalist to use OS to create access to resources and have a voice. I apologies if this seems like a plug.. or is too long.. for a small fry like me.. I guess I am asking if there are things I could do or people who might like to link up with me to work on educational projects across the globe. The focus being within schools and schooling. I can set up various platforms online to facilitate learning and communication..

After investigating this a bit the real challenges turn out to be a finding a reliable voice server that provides a VoiceXML interpreter/browser. Any mobloging project like this is at the whim of said service. Ex. TellMe, BeVocal, Voxeo, or HeyAnita TellMe provides free developer accounts. But once a service becomes popular it doesn't scale well. Meaning a lot of people can't use it at once. Basically we need the $ to find a host for the voice server that will work with this project over a good amount of time. (or find one to donate their services) BTW... An Open Source (GPL) Mobloging project I found recently is called PhoneBlogger. http://www.wombatnation.com/phoneblogger/ -Brian > Hi Xavier, > > It seems audioblogger has had several problems in recent months; among > other things, they apparently changed their phone number, so you may want > to doublecheck and see if you're using the right one.
