It is a suite of tools to permit the scheduling of 
conferences.

There are four components to the suite:
        1.  A collection of web pages (PHP and javascript)
                that provide the interface to add, update, delete
                conferences.  There is also a page to monitor
                active conferences, with the ability to mute,
                unmute and eject participants, as well as to
                have Asterisk place a call to a participant.
        2.  An Asterisk application that validates the
                conference id, start time, participant count
                and any user/moderator pins
        3.  A small php script that logs the conference 
                participants to a CDR-like database and
                enforces a conference's scheduled endtime.
        4.  A small number of sound files to convey 
                conference events/status.  The files
                were recorded by Alison, so they are a nice
                match for Asterisk's standard sound files.

Key features:
        1.  Enforcable start and end times.
                Optionaly alert callers if they are too
                early.  Also optionally allow callers to
                join a conference if they are too early.  
        2.  Configurable conference id, user and moderator pins.
                Pins are optional.  If a moderator pin is set, then
                the user pin is required.
        3.  Recurring conferences.
                Dialy, weekly and bi-weekly
        4.  Future conferences can be edited.
                The entire series, or one at a time
        5.  A conference endtime can be extended once it has
                started, but this is the only configuration
                setting that can be changed once the conference
                start time has been reached.
        6.  Simple branding.  Reasonably easy to change logos
                and page headings to refect your company (helps
                get past management objections)
        7.  Optional authentication (LDAP or Database) to
                permit users to schedule and manage their own
                conferences.

I'll work on screenshots soon.
