I'll second that... One suggestion I'd make based on your description is that I'd rather see real file management for the audio files - that is, they should probably be in a directory of their own and managed through something more specific that 'unmanaged files'. If we don't already have one, we'll need a Contributor Agreement from you... see: http://wiki.sipfoundry.org/display/sipXecs/sipXecs+Project+Contributor+Agreement _______________________________________________ sipx-dev mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-dev Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-dev sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
