You are right that this should be documented at least, and part of
The make install process ideally.

There will be a link if the conference is recorded.  I received 
a report of the recording option not working just this weekend 
and I started Looking for the cause today.  I was out of town for 
a week, otherwise I would have gotten a chance to respond earlier.

What version of Asterisk are you using?  I've had recording 
working with SVN before 1.4, the 1.4 betas and currently 1.4.1.
*** Update ***
Recordings are tied to a moderator joining the conference at this
time.  I may need to change that based on feedback/requests to
do so.

I've never user the sql option for the user/participant.  It was 
contributed by another user of the suite.  Depending on the 
technology the caller used to call into the conference you should
have their Caller-id number and possibly their Caller-id name.  
What additional Information would you like to see?

Contributions welcome.  There is a new How-To up on SF that covers
the installation on a step by step basis.  I've tried to comment
the configuration files to make it clear how each setting works.
Some features have been contributed to the project, and I am sorry
to say that beyond making sure they integrate cleanly, I have not
taken enough time to document their setup and use.  I guess I should
ask for supporting documentation before merging the changes/features.

I hope to have this resolved this week.

More details about what you would like the system to do please...

Thank you for the feedback.  I am surprised almost daily how many
people have found it useful.  I did not really expect it to be as
popular as it has become, and I am more than happy to try and 
address any problems.

Thanks,
Dan
