It wouldn't make sense to create Asterisk Assistants for
Windoze (it'd probably be called Asterisk Wizards, btw)
because Asterisk doesn't run on Windoze.

As for Linux, we are currently looking into that.

The Assistants are built using the Cocoa framework which
is a further development of NeXTStep/OpenStep. I am
currently playing with a tool called the
Python->Objectice-C Bridge or in short PyObjC.

This is primarily intended to make it possible to use the
Cocoa framework from Python and to integrate with
Interface Builder and Xcode on MacOSX. However, PyObjC
also supports OpenStep on Linux.

This means in principle it is possible to use PyObjC to
write a cross-platform GUI tool that would run under
MacOSX and OpenStep on Linux. Nicolas Gudino (the author
of the Flash Operator Panel for Asterisk) and I have
discussed this possibility and we will be looking further
into this.

I don't want to make any promises yet, but with a bit of
luck and perhaps a bit of help from others, we may be able
to make the existing Asterisk Assistants for OSX cross
platform so that they can run under OpenStep.
