I've been considering doing a web based database system, where you can post your termination offerings or wanted, then search by location, price, minimum volumes, etc. I'd probably make it free, supported by advertising my consulting company, or Google Adwords, or something like that. I've got the design written down, all ready to start coding. I could probably have a prototype up and running in a couple of weeks, consulting work permitting. Would people be interested in such a site? What features would people like to see? In particular, how detailed would you like locations to be? Countries? Regions / States? Individual area codes?

Yesterday I asked about a user manual - ie a user guide to actually using asterisk (now on how to set it up) the doc project (v2) isn't anywhere near complete and is the closest thing I could find. Does anyone know of such a doc? The reason I ask is that while a lot of this may be obvious to many people its not to someone new to asterisk and there is a lot of info to trawl through, most of which is related to configuring asterisk. Again, the question of how to do attended xfers - how? (I now know I need asterisk from CVS) but what key presses? Then there is the issue of CVS in a production environment? I'm guessing people are actually doing this, but it goes against my better judgment. Does a roadmap for asterisk exist anywhere? If there was a roadmap I wouldn't need to ask when the next stable release will be available. By stable I don't mean that I think the CVS code isn't going to be reliable, (but that is a concern) but that the code isn't going to be changing constantly.
Sounds very interesting, would providors be willing to insert pricing or would you need to enter all the data? I would suggest a set of rules like pricewatch.com uses to keep people honest. Keep us informed, Cheers, Jonathon On Thu, 17 Feb 2005 10:29:54 +0000, Alistair Cunningham <acunningham@integrics.com> wrote:> I've been considering doing a web based database system, where you can > post your termination offerings or wanted, then search by location, > price, minimum volumes, etc. > > I'd probably make it free, supported by advertising my consulting > company, or Google Adwords, or something like that. > > I've got the design written down, all ready to start coding.

Would certainly come in handy right about now :) I've been looking for a DID provider in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and found only one so far with rather expensive pricing. Anyhow, I digress. I say go for it if you have the time. Obviously things like location and pricing are a must. Pricing should be a required field otherwise it's not so informative if users have to go and find out for themselves. I'd suggest a feedback feature too, for every provider, where users can post their experiences or whatever they consider useful info. Anyhow, good luck! Look forward to seeing it. Gonzalo
The feature that would be most useful to me is some sort of rating feature on things like reliability, quality, etc... where individual users could rate each provider. I'm not for sure how best to handle something like this, but my biggest problem currently is trying to decide which providers have high enough quality and reliability to be used in a business setting.
