It is a suite of tools to permit the scheduling of 
conferences.

There are four components to the suite:
	1.  A collection of web pages (PHP and javascript)
		that provide the interface to add, update, delete
		conferences.  There is also a page to monitor
		active conferences, with the ability to mute,
		unmute and eject participants, as well as to
		have Asterisk place a call to a participant.
	2.  An Asterisk application that validates the
		conference id, start time, participant count
		and any user/moderator pins
	3.  A small php script that logs the conference 
		participants to a CDR-like database and
		enforces a conference's scheduled endtime.
	4.  A small number of sound files to convey 
		conference events/status.  The files
		were recorded by Alison, so they are a nice
		match for Asterisk's standard sound files.

Key features:
	1.  Enforcable start and end times.
		Optionaly alert callers if they are too
		early.  Also optionally allow callers to
		join a conference if they are too early.  
	2.  Configurable conference id, user and moderator pins.
		Pins are optional.  If a moderator pin is set, then
		the user pin is required.
	3.  Recurring conferences.
		Dialy, weekly and bi-weekly
	4.  Future conferences can be edited.
		The entire series, or one at a time
	5.  A conference endtime can be extended once it has
		started, but this is the only configuration
		setting that can be changed once the conference
		start time has been reached.
	6.  Simple branding.  Reasonably easy to change logos
		and page headings to refect your company (helps
		get past management objections)
	7.  Optional authentication (LDAP or Database) to
		permit users to schedule and manage their own
		conferences.

I'll work on screenshots soon.
