I was just concerned with creating a new account at that time, so I quickly put in "Asterisk Asterisk". However, I just went and updated the name and signature.

I just wrote the app and was asking folks to test to see if it was even worthwhile at this point. It's working pretty well and I can see that there is interest, so I'll get it posted soon. I have always released my gpl modules in the past, so I'm not sure why this is a concern. Plus, I'd hope that any posting works well enough before pushing a whole lot of noise on to the wiki and source sites.<br><br>>This code is NOT included with Asterisk at this point, however it is<br><br>Yes, I do prefer to release add-ons.

It is already in cvs. I'll post the
documentation on voip-info.org like I have done in the past. My source packages in the past two years also include much better documentation and a cleaner build system. If you want to help with any of this posting or management, you'll help would be a breath of fresh air.

I used to think my name was not common. A quick search will reveal some interesting stories. One Justin Newman was killed in Chicago so that another man could fake his death. I was once pulled over in Washington for speeding down I-5 in my bimmer and the officer asked if I had a warrant out for my arrest due to name
likeness. There are also several of us Justin Newman's in the VOIP world.<br><br>Anyhow, I hope some of my efforts above benefit the community.
