[Asterisk-Users] PhoneCALL v2.6.1 - Released

[Dustin Wildes]

Thanks Mark!
You're right - this version is intended for the 'advanced' admin, one 
who is very knowledgable with Asterisk, but we are working on 
simplifying the interface in the next revisions that will make 
administration easier for most user types.

Basically - think of it like this:
The developer/integrator would use the 'admin' interface as-is now to 
configure/program the PBX.  After loading the applications and setting 
up the accounts/extensions - they could create a 'local admin' account 
that would allow an office manager to add an extension, reset voicemail 
passwords, view reports, etc...  And a user-account that would allow 
average-joe's (no offense to anyone named 'Joe' :)  ) to easily 
configure their extension, review call logs - etc..

The great thing is, a system configuration can be created, exported - 
and ready to be loaded onto the next server.  This templating can make 
deployment very easy and fast for Asterisk-based servers, and make life 
alot easier on distributors.

I have the beginnings of an Administrator manual about 60% finished.  It 
should be posted later this week or next week.
