[asterisk-dev] confbridge feature request

[Jonathan White]

Is there a way of crowd sourcing the development of features? I sure there 
are many people who would find this type of feature very useful.

After thinking about the the use of same => n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)= perhaps 
an update to this would be better to set a marker or group number to all 
that have the same marker.

For example
same => n,Set(TIMEOUT(absolute)=time,warning,warning-message,group,

As usual the time denotes the time when the call will expire, warning is the 
time before the warning message is played, warning message is the audio file 
which will be played and group puts the caller into a group. This will allow 
you to update the timeout absolute for all that are in the same group via 
dial plan. couple this with the ability to execute dialplan externally would 
work for all sorts of applications not just conferencing.

Best regards

Jonathan

That is an interesting feature idea, and would be a good addition to 
ConfBridge.

I will say that without contributing code to the project - or hiring
someone to do so - it is unlikely (although not outside the realm of
possibility) that anything will come of your idea.
