This is purely from my perspective. As a utter novice to linux 3 years ago when I started using sipx, it has colored my perspective on how I would recommend simplification for future projects
1] provide ports to Windows & Macintosh. Although this isn't "necessary" and would require extra work, these are the mostly commonly encountered OS. People understand how to use installers on these platforms and doesn't require wiping a disk to reinstall [e.g., using the iso disk still requires booting into linux]. Don't even get me started on trying to install without the iso 2] allow diagnostics from problem calls from within the GUI to avoid having to run traces from within CLI. Make it clear, make it simple. Is it a failed call from the telcom, the gateway, from sipx, or from my phone?....break it down for us plain and simple. 3] allow management of IP, hostname, DNS, DHCP, server restart from within GUI. I'd be super happy if I never had to look at a CLI again. Again I had never used CLI until I started picked up sipx. 4] forums... I vote for this also. Easier for me to solve my own problems. 5] I will reserve my last vote for a future date after I have my morning double mocha!! Cheers
