But there are also other things that some people may want to do with an incoming 'phone call that we won't think about. Perhaps send an SMS to another 'phone to say that a call was received? Just an example, but the point is that we won't be able to know in advance all of the things that someone may want to do when a call comes in so rather than build a single system you want to build an extensible framework where any module can plug in to it easily, get notifications of what is going on and change the possible behaviour of actions accordingly.
I notice that there is some talk of event notification going in to the base code from an earlier mailing list, don't suppose any dev fancies filling us in on the details of how it may work? Cheers, Jim.
