[asterisk-dev] Caller/connected line ID updates * I NEED YOUR INPUT!!!

Sun Jul 6 04:44:02 CDT 2008

While updating my document, I went through your comments again. While  
being very valid,
I wonder how much we should change the caller ID handling in this  
work, or if we could
take it step by step. I have other changes as well, that I deem  
outside of the scope here,
but it's good to have in mind in the process, like UTF8 caller ID name  
handling,
and SIP uri handling.

If I can make it to Astricon, which I don't know yet, I would like to  
sit down with
a group of people and go through this whole area. Before that, I need to
complete the caller ID updates we have now, since it's a customer  
project
too.

So, a new version of the document to review is at:
