Maybe some info on what to look for when there are issues would help. Dovid, For people that wants to help the process, there's always time and a large attention span from the development team. Join the #asterisk-dev channel on IRC freenode.net and you'll find a weird enivronment (many jokes among friends) but also a lot of people that can help you get going, give you ideas for testing and respond to your ideas. There's usually a lot of real-time activity there (US time, not on my mornings here in Sweden at GMT+1), but it might slow down now for Xmas.

Maybe some info on what to look for when there are issues would help. Another thing is I have a limited amount of dial plan code that I use as well as time. Maybe people can contribute lines of dial plan that they use and we can put it on one central system. Other people can then test the functionality of what users post that their dial plan logic is supposed to do. If a test user has an issue with the way a call is supposed to work then some one else can look at where and why it is breaking. I think this is a good way for us to test each others dial plan logic, see errors etc. Of course there is a question of who will run the box, debug etc. I would have no problem donating a box for people to use in such a test scenario. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Fonality, for example use what they call a hammer which sounds to me like a bunch of servers running various stress tests on the software to try break it. Then we must have different opinions on how an Open Source project works. Digium contributes a lot every day with a large team of developers and give the community this work - new code and bug fixes - for free. As a community developer I contribute my own time and time paid for by customers who contract me. The community is the power of Asterisk and what makes Asterisk what it is. I don't know who whoever is. If you where talking about the Business Edition, you would be right. And in fact, Digium has got a test team for that. And, as an additional plus, all the things they find are fixed in the Open Source edition. I have not seen any bug reports coming from Fonality - at least not any bug reports or patches that I can trace from that source. I do hope that they want to join the community so that the Open Source version of Asterisk can benefit from their extensive tests!
