asterisk users - Nov 2012 - AGI and AMI stuff.

Hey, all.  I'm interested in doing some simple, very specific web pages 
for some of my users -- things like call groups, setting forwarding, and 
for the receptionist to transfer calls and see calls.  Probably do this 
in Ruby or PHP, though I'm open-minded.  Anyway, if someone could point 
me to some documentation -- dead tree, electronic, whatever -- that 
gives some fairly in-depth detail on this, I'd be most appreciative.

Thanks!

-Ken

AGI commands and AMI actions and events are documented on the wiki -
https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Asterisk+11+Command+Reference

The wiki also has command references for 1.8 and 10.

Asterisk: The Definitive Guide has good chapters on the protocols:

* Book - http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596517342.do
* AMI - http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9780596517342/asterisk-AMI.html
* AGI - http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9780596517342/AGI.html

There are client libraries that handle the protocol details for you. StarPy for
Python is a fairly low-level wrapper around AMI/AGI. Adhearsion for Ruby is a
fairly high level wrapper for building voice applications. I believe some exist
for PHP, but I know nothing about them.
