Or you can run cvs head. It is slated to become the next stable release 
not too far out. With a bit of testing it may be safe enough for your 
needs. Or not. :)

All the entrants do not have to use the same meetme command. We can have a 
mix of people entering muted/non-muted depending on their authorization. 
That's what the dialplan is there for.

Actually, we do it through an agi now, but it used to be done in the 
dialplan itself. Now all the database stuff and all the prompts are 
handled through the agi.

I think it is a mistake to add a lot of features to all the applications. 
Quite a few of these could have been implemented using the dialplan and a 
few new primitives.
