<br>here is the requirements, as far as I can make out:<br><br>1. The scripts of the sounds are provided in English, in text format,<br> 8859-1 format.<br>2. For sounds targeted to live in the "core" sounds, the sound scripts
<br> should be translated into Spanish (es), and French (fr), and the<br> translations provided, in 8859-1 format.<br>3. The sound files for all 3 languages (if in core) should be provided<br> in 48 KHz wav format, buffered with a 50ms stretch of silence,
<br> both at the beginning and end of the sound file. They also need to<br> be recorded by the "official" voices for Asterisk.<br> These are:<br> Allison Smith (English and Spanish), and June Wallack (French), for
<br> consistency with the existing sounds. You can check<br> <a href="http://www.digium.com/en/products/voice/">http://www.digium.com/en/products/voice/</a><br> for pricing, contact info, etc for these two recording stars.
<br><br><br>Report your request in Mantis as a bug. Core Asterisk, General category.<br>Provide all the data as attachments to the bug. We'll try our best to<br>work it in as soon as possible.<br><br>Now, for the cost of things, Digium has generously, graciously, offered
<br>to handle any sounds that are accepted into the core of Asterisk. Digium<br>will beg for translations from the community, and pay for the<br>recordings. This will provide a measure of consistency with existing<br>recordings.
<br><br>Measure of Consensus:<br><br>With regards to sounds, and perhaps this might extend to other proposed<br>additions and enhancements to Asterisk, if there is any question as to<br>the usefulness or worth of a proposed addition to Asterisk, we as a
<br>community may request a vote on a proposal. To get accepted, a vote will<br>be requested via the asterisk-dev mailing list, and if enough positive<br>response is achieved, the addition will be queued for inclusion in<br>
Asterisk.<br><br>Developer votes count more than general user votes. Those with a lot of<br>Karma on the bug site, those with respect in the community, etc. If an<br>enhancement cannot achieve support amongst the developers, it's dead.
<br>After all, it is they who will have to commit it to the repository, and<br>support it from then on to some extent!<br><br>--<br>Steve Murphy<br>Software Developer<br>Digium<br><br>_______________________________________________
