[Asterisk-Dev] Possible res_config Bounty / Contract

[Nathan Alberti]

I am looking for an enhanced version of res_config to support my 
environment.

I am looking to store config files in MySQL and have them reloaded on 
request buy the * server. I understand this is already possible with 
later versions of * and I have it working correctly with CVS-HEAD.

My environment however is that the database is centralized and I intend 
the * servers to be located at customer premises, The customers will 
have an interface to login and modify their configuration and update 
their site. This way it can suit both customers with on site boxes or 
centric style services.

The problem is I do not wish the connection back to the central database 
(which potentially could be over the public Internet) to be a raw MySQL 
connection, I would prefer to see something better suited to the 
application (XML ??). I though about using res_perl (which I'm sure 
would work), but the boxes are intended to be as lite as possible on 
embedded hardware so I think there will be better options with some 
slight work.

Any ideas/suggestions ?

Anyone interested in a contract/bounty for the development of such an 
application ?

Regards,

Nathan.
