asterisk users - Aug 2005 - App_Queue strategy=ringallfree (feature request, possible bounty)

Hello everyone,

	I have just noticed a fairly obvious feature that it looks like many 
people have been looking for...

	If you have a queue defined with strategy=ringall, members of the queue 
will still get incoming calls when they are already on a call (call 
waiting).  The only solution that has ever worked is incominglimit=1 in 
sip.conf.  The problem there is that it obviously disables call waiting 
for the SIP peer globally, not just for the queue.

	Not having looked at the code (like I could make much sense out of it 
anyways), how hard would it be to add something like 
strategy=ringallfree, where only members of the queue not already on a 
call from that queue will receive incoming calls?

	Perhaps this is something for a bounty, is anyone else interested?

We have been suggesting that people implement this sort of thing by 
using Local channels and the dialplan, rather than trying to force more 
complicated logic into app_queue.

By using the dialplan, you can use any method you wish to decide that 
the agent is 'busy'... look in a database, run an AGI, etc.
