The project goes, necessarily, in the direction contributors and participants take it. There is a relatively small core of developers and contributors at any given time. We welcome you and any contributions you might make. > I've been working on shared object apps that permit the system to be > configured more generically on database integration rather than it's > current dependence on ASCII configuration files.

We certainly need centralized configuration like this and the ability to pull configuration and other info from Databases, LDAP, web services, etc. One of our first intents was to strip as much cruft out of Asterisk as we could. Many people initially involved were frustrated with the state of "realtime" configuration so it was kept at arm's length. Another long-term focus is to remove non-critical components from the core where possible - the CLI among other things, in order to improve stability. I have not seen your code, but if it improves on realtime, allows for a choice of configuration sources and does not couple directly to the core bring it out. Otherwise, perhaps we can make some adjustments or accommodations. We can get you hooked up with an SVN account, or you can wait until the name change is complete. -Nate _______________________________________________ Openpbx-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openpbx.org/mailman/listinfo/openpbx-dev
