I just discovered OpenPBX, I was actually looking on the web for the
Voicetronix project of the same name:
http://www.voicetronix.com.au/openpbx.htm, but this project is
actually more interesting.  FYI, the Voicetronix project is an Open
Source PBX written entirely in Perl.

I was wondering if this project has any relation to previous Asterisk forks?

There was at least one fork that produced significant new code. 
Aefirion.org?  Does anyone remember that project?  Web site is down,
so I imagine it died.  However, it was pretty active at one point. 
Might be worth contacting the developers.

I was also wondering how open you guys are to completely rethinking
configuration and scripting?

Really, there are three seperate types of information that are needed:
server configuration, routing information, and application scripting. 
Asterisk combines these seperate concerns into configuration files
(which can be translated by AEL).

Standard languages for routing and application scripting exist that
are in themselves much simpler and, of course, seperate.  Programming
in a small, simple subset of VoiceXML and CCXML makes sense to me. 
Starting from scratch and developing simple languages makes sense to
me.  In fact, creating just about anything different from the current
Asterisk config methodology makes sense to me.  Just wondering what
other people here think.
