[Asterisk-Users] About the weather..

[Kris Edwards]

I'm proud to say I have yet to see the asterisk at home weather script :p

I was just hoping somebody had done all the work :D   I'm looking at
various sources for weather to find one easiest to work with.
xoap.weather.com has nice XML so I'll probably go with that.  But, since
I suck with perl, it will most likely be having a bash script grab the
forecast and generate the exten for me in a seperate file that I include
in my main extensions.conf... Either that or I'll get half way through
and start thinking about all the other readily available sources for the
weather and go play some Quake. :D

Thanks for the replies though.
