Hi, Mike. I've noticed that you've added Upgrade and Uninstall options to the OpenSER Administrator website - great stuff. Although, I did notice that your upgrade instructions don't mention anything about upgrading the database tables - I presume if you need to do that at a later date, you'll supply an equivalent SQL script (like the database_tables.sql and delete_database_tables.sql scripts for install and uninstall, respectively)? Might be worth mentioning that.
As for your request for ideas for new features ... I think the documentation within OpenSER admin could do with a bit more content - I'm quite new to OpenSER and OpenSER Administrator so I'm not entirely clear what VoIP Accounts, Domains, Groups, Group Membership etc. specifically refer to (well, I get accounts and domains but it gets a bit fuzzier after that). Perhaps a little paragraph at the top of each page with a brief but clear description? On top of that, I guess I come less from a user-centric world and lean more towards the administrator side of things so I'm less interested in letting users login to change their profiles and more interested in seeing options that will allow easier adminstration - such as a web interface to configuring parts of the openser.cfg file - being able to toggle the debug level at will, stop/start/restart OpenSER from the web, change the port OpenSER listens on, enable/disable modules on startup - and, generally, anything that can be web-ified from the .cfg file. Obviously, I'm not talking about a replacement to the .cfg file - but something that can modify some of the various options on the fly would be useful ... Anyway, just thought I'd make some suggestions. I finally got the logging feature working today (oh, yes, when the log file doesn't exist, OpenSER doesn't handle the error very gracefully - so perhaps some work required on the error handling?) so I think I can safely say everything's working ...
