The process for proposing and contributing a new feature is essentially
the same as that to fix a bug.  Have a look at
http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/How_to_report_a_problem_with_sipXecs

for some of the process details.

The first and essential step is to write up a thorough description of
what the feature should look like from the perspectives of a user and an
administrator and post that description here on the sipx-users list
where it can be discussed by the community.  You may want to create a
tracker issue at the same time and put a link to the email thread, but I
think it's better to keep the discussion on the list until some
consensus is reached about the basic functionality and create the issue
from that.  

In response to your posting on the users list, I replied:

By which I meant that it might be better to call some forwarding service
that acted like an autoattendant - prompting the user for what they want
to do and providing confirmation that the requested change has been
made.  It's pretty easy to misdial a number and think that you've
forwarded it to one place when you've really forwarded it somewhere
else.  Using a star code may also be more difficult to select things
like whether the forwarding should be 'after no answer' or 'at the same
time', and when and how to undo the forwarding.

After some agreement is reached on what the external (human-visible)
functionality should be, there should certainly be a tracker issue
created.  Then we can discuss the design - that is which component(s)
are responsible for implementing the feature and any interfaces between
components.  This discussion should probably move to the sipx-dev list.

Try _not_ to mix the functional and design discussions as much as
possible.

We look forward to your contribution.
