[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.8.4 Now Available

[|| dave cantera Mobile]

danny,
not that it matters, but I agree. if the design is a good design, it 
would not have to be redesigned on every release.  in fact, the modules 
template should also follow this philosophy that way you can concentrate 
on adding functions and not the design...

sometimes, it is smarter to scrap what you have and use the knowledge 
gained to come up with a design that provides for a good, tightly 
integrated, but flexible facility to interact with multiple components.  
for example, the admin interface on * is just such of a system. you can 
add commands as required (I haven't looked at the code to see if it is 
easy to do though). 

the more time you put into design, the less time you have to spend 
programming.
IMHO,
