I should point out that I (DEA) did not contribute the basic RealTime
support in app_meetme.  I added the scheduling and resource limit features,
and the option to store the conference flags in the database table.

You will want to understand the basics of Asterisk's RealTime features to
get started. Basic support for RealTime conferences can be had by using
the database table defined in contrib/scripts/meetme.sql

The scheduling features require a more complex database table that I was
sure that I included in the contribution, but I do not see it in SVN.
The correct db table is available in the Web-MeetMe package, which is
a front-end to manage the database and active conferences.  It is hosted
at https://sf.net/projects/web-meetme

I am behind schedule to release a package for 1.6.1, and I need to submit
the database table to Mantis so it can be added to future release packages.
