What's going on?
A lot of people dropping by irc.freenode.net #openpbx asking "are you guys
still around"? Yes, we are still here, help us spread the word, give us a
try, blog your experience.
OpenPBX.org is scheduled to release a 0.2 release on April 1. It looks like
it is going to be a bit rough. OpenPBX.org certainly makes and takes calls
and some people are having success using 0.2 or something like it in
production.
Testers are needed right up to and after the release. We have people
testing on Debian, Ubuntu, Centos and Fedora but we need more testers,
especially people who are interested in some of the obscure components still
included with OpenPBX.org. If you find a bug or anomaly please report it on
trac.openpbx.org or at least mention it to one of the lists.
The installation of OpenPBX.org is a bit of a challenge and would certainly
drive off newbies. It takes a little bit of work to round up all the
requirements, get security set correctly and all. If anyone would like to
try to streamline that it would be appreciated.
Finally, going forward the matrix below will be used to guide decisions-
"guide" not make decisions.
(apologies for the ASCII art, please use a non-proportional font, etc.)
For the next release we will try to snag some "Quick Wins" and "Low-hanging
Fruit"
* A new jitterbuffer donated by Speakup.nl (www.Speakup.nl) is just
one example.
In the long term "Must Have" category examples:
* disconnecting CLI from core
* anything that can be done to make the core more stable
* and changes that differentiate us from other projects like Benjk's
plist configuration interface.

Low High
Ease of Development
* Quick Wins - High in project value, easy to finish
* Must Have - necessary to the project but difficult to implement
* Low-Hanging Fruit - low benefit to the project but easy to
complete
* Resource Pit - Little value to the project, difficult to implement
Thank you for your interest and/or participation in OpenPBX.org I think I
speak for all the volunteers when I say I hope it serves you well.
