I'm putting together an Asterisk server for a local charity to use as an announcement system. I've been thinking about how to write the dialplan to allow different options for different groups' announcements, as well as mailboxes for the various groups and the charity's administrators. Of course, this would also need to include an option for the heads of the different groups to modify their announcements. Before I write it, I was wondering if anyone had an extensive dialplan or an AGI script that already did something like this. I know it'll only take a couple of hours to write and test this, but I thought if someone has something already written, I could just "borrow" it from you. Thanks, Nabeel
Why not use Asterisk@Home? It's got the AMP/FreePBX already installed, so it'd be easy for them to maintain, and should do what you want.. -----Original Message----- From: Nabeel Jafferali [mailto:asterisk-lists@x2n.ca] Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 2:40 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Announcement System for a Charity I'm putting together an Asterisk server for a local charity to use as an announcement system.

Does AMP also let you split up each charity so that each only has access to manage their own content? That seems to me to be a pretty big limitation of all the Asterisk management software out there. It's designed to be used by one company to manage their own config, not to be used by many 'organisations' to manage their own data. Kind of like Asterisk being used as a carrier solution rather than a hosted PBX solution.
