We're considering using Asterisk in our small (8 user) office. There is one feature that we have on our current phone system that I haven't seen in the documentation that I've read that I'd like to be able to replicate with Asterisk. On our current phones (Iwatsu) we have a button on the phones for each extension that lights up when that extension is ringing or is in a call, so I can see at a glance if one of my coworkers is on the phone before I go barging into his office. Also, if I am in a coworker's office and my phone rings, I can hit my extension button on his phone and answer the call. Can this functionality be reproduced by Asterisk, and if so, which SIP handsets would you suggest using to do something like this? Right now, I'm looking at the Cisco 7960, but I'm open to other options.
This seems to be a popular request these days. Most places I've seen call this "shared lines" I thought this was impossible with Asterisk, but somebody kindly pointed me toward the hint() priority as outlined in this older post to this mailing list:

I understand that this only works with the Snom phones (190/200/220).
I Hope that helps.
Thanks, Noah
