[Asterisk-Users] Slightly OT: OpenPBX.org and Freeswitch
This is slightly OT in that it isnt specifically *-related, but I was wondering what the members of the * user community felt about these two subjects. Ive been perusing the OpenPBX.org mail list and the current hot topic is the fact that their project has come to a grinding halt. They are concerned that they dont have enough people working on their project. They feel that * has improved since the fork but they still have the same complaints: the Asterisk core is a pig, the core is huge and messy with ugly code, and finally that Asterisk development is throttled by the Digistapo. Some there have suggested that Freeswitch is going to be the wave of the future. They hyped it up pretty well. However, after visiting the Freeswitch site and signing up to get the source and docs, Im not all that impressed. Its a great idea but it is months away from being a truly useful product. My questions to the Asterisk user community: are you at all concerned about the complaints made by the forkers? Or are they the ones who are all forked up? ;) What about Freeswitch? Do you see that as a threat to Asterisk or simply as yet another competing product? (After all, there are other open source PBX projects available.) I would really like to hear your comments, concerns and viewpoints. -MC ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The intent is not to start a flame war. I simply want your viewpoints. Feel free to email me offline with your comments on these subjects. This is the place where the most informed Asterisk users come and thus the place I chose to ask these questions. If there is a better forum (I hear that IRC is a possibility) then please advise. In the meantime PLEASE don't flame anyone on this list. If you want to flame me please do so at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kevin is right - a two week flame war is pointless. -MC -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin P.
