Variables in Templates
======================

Some variables should be available for use in templates so that
information can be reused. In the given case, it shoud be possible to
specify the setting of Caller ID based on data available at a different
source, during configuration or call time. As examples, Caller ID in the
configuration of a Gateway should be possible in a way equivalent to any
of:

<gateway.itsp.user>@<gateway.itsp.sipdomain>
<user.firstname> <user.lastname>


Field class in Templates
========================

The class of configuration fields should be definable in templates, so
that a field can be set to any of

- user mandatory (user has to specify a value for this field, shown in
standard view)
- user optional (user may specify a value, shown in advanced view)
- template predefined (user cannot edit in configuration dialog, only
changeable in template editor)


That way, for an ITSP who requires for succesfull calls to be made, that
caller ID is their local SIP account, caller ID would be defined in the
template as '<gateway.itsp.user>@<gateway.itsp.sipdomain>' and the field
class set to 'template predefined'.

Summary
=======

ITSP provider templates should become an online service, similar to
imdb.org


Description
===========

ITSP information, provided though templates for configuration of SIP
gateways is in constant flux and a lot of information if looked at
globally.
Binding this information to sipx releases makes it unmaintainable for
becoming out of date and potentially voluminous.
A backend service should be created allowing the synchronization of ITSP
configuration information into sipx installations.

The user should have the possibility to:
- search for the ITSP he is interested in
- select for transfer/update into his sipx installation
- define new templates in sipx
- submit new or updated templates to teh backend service for integration

Advantages:
- users can contribute more easily, raising the number of supported ITSP
faster
- users can help keeping the information accurate and up to date
- when creating new configurations (eg gateways), the user is only
confronted with the set of templates he chose, not a potentially hughe
worldwide set


Outlook
=======

If the system is designed with some flexibility, it could also be used
for other configuration templates, e.g. telephones.
