asterisk users - Apr 2005 - AMP & Handset Provisioning

I have in the past written a hack to AMP 1.10.004 to automatically generate
Polycom configuration files such that when an extension is created you can
select the type of handset as a Polycom and then enter the handsets MAC /
Serial on the page and AMP would automatically create the correctly
formatted config files. This was a dirty hack written in haste.

I am about to start doing a patch for the latest version of AMP that will
allow developers to added their own handset config plug-in or at least
publish the method used to recreate correctly the previous Polycom hack such
that anyone should be able to build their own handset configuration
templates and have AMP auto provision whilst maintaining some consistency.

Has anyone else done anything similar given that duplication is the root of
all evil ?

Regards,

Stuart Hirst

A Feature Request for this very capability was submitted earlier today:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1178008&group_id=121515&atid=690575

We'd welcome your contribution and can work with you to add this 
valuable feature to AMP.
