I've often thought it would be nice to have a program that takes all the 
extensions asks a question about which zap are extensions and which are 
lines, whihc are your trunks etc and then compiles a 1 page extension list.

Even just for myself this would be usefull as I have totally run out of 
numbering space on one of my dev machines and often move around/rename 
extensions.

The idea would be to do a show dialplan via the manager and parse it for 
various applications/dial lines.  Obviously the applications would be 
easy to do, but the dial lines would require user interaction.

I guess you would also need some way to set the perspective from which 
it is viewed.  I.E. Looking from the internal context you would have 
available X.  I don't think people would need a list of the IVR numbers 
etc from outside, although if you could select a start context you could 
do this too.
