[Asterisk-Dev] Asterisk channel variable access: a proposal

[David Pollak]

Holger,

I'm not suggestion that we plug only one scripting language in.  Quite 
the contrary, I'm suggesting that there should be a robust structure to 
plug an arbitary programming/scripting language into Asterisk.

The goal of the working group would be to regularize the information so 
it's available to all APIs, regularize the APIs so they are the same no 
matter how one hooks into Asterisk, and to create hooks into integrate 
an arbitrary language into Asterisk.

Sound reasonable?

Thanks,

David
