One of the most appealing feature from ADA was its ability launch calls from
MSOffice documents (smart tag feature).
Other features (screen popups and click2call were quite easy to find
elsewhere or develop yourself)

It would seem to be a dead project yes, I can't understand why Digium
bought Click2Dial, re-branded it ADA and then stopped doing anything
with it.

I even tried to ask a Digium employee at a VoIP show in the UK about a
year ago what was going on with it but they skirted the question and
tried selling Switchvox to me (which might actually, inadvertently
answer the question ;) ).

cheers,
Paul.


FWIW, "open source" is only "truly dead" when you can't find anywhere to
download the source.
