New Revision: 17199

URL: http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk?rev=17199&view=rev
Log:
Clarify syntax of new manager events that reports a status.
We do not longer approve "ThisEventOn" and "ThisEventOff" named events,
they need to be named "ThisEvent" with a status header showing the
current status.
(Approved by Mark)
Old events won't be changed to keep backwards compatibility,
until we have a revision plan for the AMI.

+* Creating new manager events?
+------------------------------
+If you create new AMI events, please read manager.txt. Do not re-use
+existing headers for new purposes, but please re-use existing headers
+for the same type of data.
+
+Manager events that signal a status are required to have one
+event name, with a status header that shows the status.
+The old style, with one event named "ThisEventOn" and another named
+"ThisEventOff", is no longer approved.
+
+Check manager.txt for more information on manager and existing
+headers. Please update this file if you add new headers.
