asterisk users - Apr 2005 - US$100 bounty for two features in voicemail

Hi All,

This is a US$100 bounty for two features in voicemail.

. need it by May 1st.
. feature 1, one new option to play message from latest to the oldest. Now
it only supports playing from oldest to latest. I'd like this as an option
for each mailbox. Therefore some users have latest first while others have
oldest first.
. feature 2, simplified folder, only two folders -- new and old. Now it
supports several folders. Some users are overwhelmed by this. Most voicemail
system only supports two folders new and old. When they save, it goes to old
folder. Again, I'd like this as an option for each mailbox.
. open source and we will release the code to public
. I'd expect there will be code modification in apps/app_voicemail.c. It
should be based on the latest cvs stable version.

Thanks,
Richard

I put up a patch for this a week or so ago that will do this
http://bugs.digium.com/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0004043
maybe you get thevoice to change the prompts
when you are at the first message just press previous (4) & it will do the
last message
and then do 4 again to previous again etc

I didn't lile the logic of the builtin voicemail system so I rewrote the 
entire voicemail system in Perl for my company. It's worked well with over
50
users thusfar. It works with the asterisk MWI as well. I can easily modify it 
to support these features and have it ready by May1st if Perl is acceptable 
for this bounty. Since this is AGI, it will work with the latest cvs stable 
version.
