I'm not familiar with what asterisk does specifically, but it seems to me that before _I'd_ want to invest my time (assuming that my time was mine to invest, which in this case it is not), I'd want more assurance that there was actually money than text that someone put on a wiki page. > I understand that with the bulk of development being done by Avaya > employee's a bounty is a bit like moonlighting.

That's a fine stake in the ground, and your offer is in the archive :-), but you understand that what you're offering is perhaps a week or at most two of programmer time at fair market rates? That's not much of an ACD. Understand... what the community is getting for no $ (not quite free, as I've expressed elsewhere) is the result of many _millions_ of dollars of developer time. Yes, it's missing some things and has some warts, but those things cost real money to build and fix. If you can find someone to do them for $1K... more power to you - we'll take the output if it's good. _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
