+Manager conversion to the new event structure
+---------------------------------------------
+
+The manager events generated by Asterisk modules today basically produce a simple
+string and send that to the manager module for handling.
+
+I would like to start the conversion to a new *INTERNAL* format by adding a new
+manager event call that uses a new structure and support in manager.c for 
+converting this to the existing format at transmission to manager port or http server.
+
+When we have this working, we can convert existing modules to the new format and
+start looking at actions/responses, propably starting with the outbound responses.
+
+This will require:
+
+- A review of the event data structures
+	- Do we have the data types we need?
+	- Example: Do we need a definition for host adress - IP or name?
+
+- A review of the event data values - which are string, which are numeric, which are something else?
+
+After discussion with Russell at Fosdem 2009, I don't believe that this will
+be a huge process. We will need help from the community by applying this as a janitor process,
+and I'm sure we'll get the help we need provided we have proper guidelines.
+
+I am also considering adding data types for the various event headers. This is for
+the possibility of sharing events across the event bus to other systems.
+The event structure will need an addition of the system name/eventID for the remote
+system, so we can separate incoming events from local events.
+
+
+This will take some time, as I only can work on this in spare time. Any assistance
+is of course welcome and feedback is gently asked for!
