I did all the first Asterisk -> OpenPBX.org patch post and it is a long process Especially that there is code that shouldn't be ported, and some that has but wont commit without alot of changes. Also now my time is extremely low, and I saw it would be mostly non existent until end April minimum. So the project would need someone to take on the management of 0.2 release since I know from my end It wont get anywhere soon. The project is open to all, and should run by itself, but it seem it require daily motivation that I cannot provide ;) So if anyone is interested, speak up. Thanks Marc O. C.
