I can add stuff to the phpconfig CVS dirs if anyone wants to contrib stuff.
keep it all in one dir etc....

phpconfig can run SSL and yes its a easy way to "vi" the files
directly but it does give your options that "vi" does not.... like
click on a context and see extensions within that context.   jump from config to
config etc....   its a framework to get people thinking about abbing a web
interface to *.

Do you want everyone to know where everyone is calling? I could see mgmt/owners
having an issue with this in a normal business environment! Look Mr. Gate$ at
extention 666 made 500 calls to Mr Devil last week, I wonder what deals they are
making ;)

Doesn't this just display the config files for editing? I wouldn't want
to put this as an internet reachable service without https. Heck if I'm just
editing a file, why not just vi/vim/emacs/your-fav-editor from an ssh session (
lots of java ssh applets for this/ ssh clients )?

User Self Service would seem to mean replacing the PHPconfig anyway...

Make sure to think about limits for call forwarding. Should I be able to forward
to a number in some other country?

Authentication/Authorization is a tough slippery slope... LDAP, NIS, NIS+,
flatfile, database you get the picture.

You may want to think about Webadmin as a control frontend and build with that
in mind...

Maybe CDR exports from the GUI (csv)?
In GUI Archiving mechanism for "old" records? ( record retention
policy )
