"quite simple everyone has their own take on how things should be and getting people that are behind the various projects you mentioned to agree on how things should be would be nearly impossible. C vs C++ plus outspoken individuals that want to see things implemented in certain fashions (right/wrong that's not an issue for right now) Also depending on the application it will be used in some designs suit 1 better than others."
Digium/Asterisk has their motives. OpenPBX will has it's motives once consensus is gained Yate has it's view on things, use of C++ etc. No shoe fits every foot and no glove fits every hand. It's a case of using the best total for your need or working toward getting a better alternative for one's needs. Everyone in OSS has their own views on how things should be. Also licensing is always and forever will be a sticking point to alot of new progress. The real issue is given those involved what is the best course to take. I personally like the ability to make changes to the current code as needed for PBX based applications where it fits the bill nice. Sure it will take time to mature and grow but that depends how many people are involved in the effort and how things progress. The catch 22 is business needs for many of us require a solution yesterday. I personally would like to see the work by Moc,jcollie,stkn,cypromis,pressurman (takes nerve to run it in production),cypromis (automake god),opus and others pay off into a formal release. Sure over time it may be possible to ditch the forked code which is quite common in forked projects that they more away further and further from the original base. I've also expressed my interest to Moc privately about spearheading the effort for a release. I have also noticed a few others have shown interest as well so I'll put together my thoughts and it can be discussed. -- William PS: Mostly a quote by myself from the irc chan due to this same issue PSS: If anyone has comments they don't want displayed publicly on the list feel free to email me private at the same address I post from or wsuff on irc.freenode.net _______________________________________________ Openpbx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openpbx.org/mailman/listinfo/openpbx-dev
