[asterisk-users] RE VoipNow 1.2.0 Beta

2006-08-08 Thread Matthew Warren
Yes it is an addon of Plesk, thats stating the obvious.  But while your
complaining about people writing stuff to use what are you doing.  If your
not a developer don't critisize the developers.  I see nothing more than you
displaying that you are the Vice President of a 2 man consulting firm.
Which means you have to sell other peoples developed products.

Not to mention you are being critical of plesk, yet you use to host you
websites for your business.  Dude, we all have opinions, like crapholes they
all stink, your's just stood out.

If developers only ever get feedback from other developers, how will
they ever produce something that the market needs? Shouln't you also
listen to your customers?

And surely someone who uses Plesk already is ideally placed to give an
opinion on whether it's suitable?

I will stand up here and join Greg... (and we are not 2 man business, nor is
Greg's to my knowledge)

One can not build the GUI administration for asterisk from a base that was
designed for another purpose without
reaching the limits. And guess what then...? a complete re-write will
required. :)

In addition... supporting your customers is not trivial with asterisk. You
HAVE to know your telephony/VoIP stuff very very well specially
since you are giving them the interface to which they have no knowledge of
internals...

Wow. Such hostility. Some corrections.

1. I am using a variety of customer built and off the shelf products, both 
stuff that I've written, commissioned to have written and/or purchased 
from companies such as PBXware, Switchvox, VoiceRoute etc. My customer's 
needs drive my decisions as to what should be deployed, not a religious 
fervor. However, my customers also pay me to make solid decisions on 
technology based on my (considerable) experience in the field.

2. N2Net, of which I an the Vice President, started 11 years ago as a 1 
man consulting company. We are quite a bit larger now, but that isn't 
important. What is important is that you haven't even taken the time to 
verify who you are talking to, and/or what their credentials are. Bad 
move on your part, and probably not the smartest thing to fire off to a 
list such as this. I'll chalk it up to a mistake on your part. A google 
search of your name and the term Asterisk doesn't show a whole lot. You 
might consider doing the same with my name Gregory Boehnlein Asterisk to 
see what comes up.
 
 Not to mention you are being critical of plesk, yet you use to host you

Yes.. I host several thousand websites with PLESK, and as such am quite 
well positioned to voice an opinion about their software and 
methodologies. As far as Web control panels go, they are the best in the 
industry, but the industry has pretty low standards. I dislike PLESK for a 
variety of reasons and personally see that someone using it as a basis for 
a Web UI for Asterisk is trying to push a square peg through a round hole.

That doesn't mean that VoipNow sucks, just means that I'll probably not 
use it or reccomend it to my clients because I think the architecture 
and design are fudamentally flawed, and it's my reputation on the line.

However, if someone asked me for a reccomendation on a Control Panel 
software for Web Hosting, I would have no hesitations reccomending PLESK 
to them, provided they understand the limitations of the platform.

 Dude, we all have opinions, like crapholes they
 all stink, your's just stood out.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and you have every right to 
have your own. I don't agree with it, but I'm not going to resort to 
childish insults and petty comments.

I'm really confused how you think this is an addon of plesk?  Sure it 
looks like plesk, and feels like plesk, but what idiot would run a voip 
system on top of a shared hosting server especially one as insecure as 
plesk? 

Sure 4psa has made products specifically for plesk, but I doubt they are 
a one pony show.  It is very trivial to install the demo and take for a 
real test drive how about just doing it instead of dreaming of what 
could be.
