[asterisk-gui] Feature Request For AsteriskNOW

[Brandon Kruse]

Hey Randy.

First of, just to clear things up, I think thats a really cool idea.

Knowing a little bit about the internals of asterisk, I would really be
interested to see what this "redundancy" consists of, if it really works,
and what exactly it covers.

Talking just in my own experience, not on behalf of Digium, I think
that would be really cool to have that packaged and an option download
once you get installed, or a "trove" availible to AsteriskNOW users.


Just for kicks, there is nothing stopping you from building the trove in
rbuilder and submitting it to Digium's rPath dev team for them to look at
and possibly submit. Even if you get it in a repo, people could easily download
it by adding your rPath repo to /etc/conaryrc and doing a conary update packagename.


Hope all this information helps, I am going to take a peak at it real quick.


Thanks for all the suggestions and being active in the community!

At one point you guys asked for suggestions on features for your software.  I think a HUGE plus would be to add support for redundancy.  

I have been keeping track of a GPL project at CarrierClass.net.  The creators name is Stephane Alnet and he is working on a fully functional asterisk install that is fully redundant, can be installed from an ISO, and it's FREE!

I would love to see the sharp design of AsteriskNOW taking advantage of the advanced features and functionality of a solution like CarrierClass.  I am new to open source, but because CarrierClass is GPL it can be modified as long as the code is open to the creator.  Correct?  

I don't know if Staphane would be open to the idea, but would Digium?  Is it worth contacting CarrierClass?  

What do you guys think?
