Folks, I'd like to arrange a meeting among those of us who are interested in seeing what we can develop to handle the voicemail replacement.
It seems to me that what we need to figure out is what underlying functions and applications are needed in order to build a pure dialplan-based voicemail. We all seem pretty much agreed that with the right tools in place, a dialplan-based voicemail is not an impossible dream. What will these functions be? That is what we need to figure out. For example, those folks who want to use IMAP should be able to do so. What does that mean? What will that entail? On the other hand, for those who are not going to want to get into all the extra work needed to get IMAP going, I'd sure like to be able to offer something that works similarly to the current app_voicemail, in the sense that it can work with the existing file structure of the current app. Database storage is also popular, and should be sorted out. At this time, I am not so interested in the features of the new voicemail (although some of that will need to be explored so that we can figure out what functions will need to happen). What I think needs to be figured out first are the fundamental building blocks that will allow such a thing to exist. Once that is understood, then I think that building the dialplan part of it will be easier. If you have coding skills to contribute (or a high level of linux knowledge, in order to help us figure out what might already exist that could be re-used), we need your help. If you have a "wish list" of features, but don't plan on helping with the development, that is OK too, and we are going to want your input, but this meeting is not for you; we'll have a TAUG event of some kind to give people a chance to help us figure out that part. I'm pretty sure I can get space in Richmond Hill/Markham that'll consist of a boardroom/whiteboard for about 8-10 people. If those of you who expressed an interest in helping to develop this thing could let me know what sort of timeframe might work for you, I can book the space. Thanks, and regards, Jim P.S. Please respond to the planning list only. -- Jim Van Meggelen Core Telecom Innovations [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.coretel.ca 416-425-6111 x6001 877-CORETEL x6001 (Canada) IAX2:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/6001 www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/2177 No virus found in this outgoing message.
