[asterisk-dev] MeetMe: Development Request (and Bounty)

[Nicholas Blasgen]

I'm looking for someone to patch MeetMe to support presence information on
the state of the phone line.  In short, a phone call with ringing out of
band is not heard on a MeetMe channel.  If you were to create
an extension similar to this:

500,1,Answer()
500,2,Dial(SIP/100)

And then originate a call between that extension and a meetme channel, there
would be silence heard on the meetme channel.  The desired outcome would be
to hear the ring, ring sound.  I've seen this "bug" brought up on Asterisk's
bug tracker but it seems that it's intended for some reason (due to MeetMe
not caring about the state of the phone line), but I would like to change
that.  We're all not a fan of added configuration flags, but if it's true
that this is an intended outcome, then I see no other suggestion than to add
a new flag.  So I'd propose adding a flag to the MeetMe configuration file
that allows the admin to configure whether MeetMe generattes sound for out
of band calls.

I'm offering $1,000 to develop this for the Asterisk 1.4 branch.  I'll add
in another $500 if the code is accepted into Asterisk's SVN (would make it
easier than patching builds).  If you're interested, email me or the list.
 In the event of multiple people being interested, I'll pick one so that
people aren't necessarily in competition with each other.  Any other
feedback is also welcome (such as if this is a good idea at all to do).
 Thanks!
