Few months back, I had freeswitch-1.0.0 smoothly compiled on my OpenWRT SVN trunk with no patches. Now, v1.0.1 has been released. Let's see what we can do about it, i.e. port it to WRTP54G, PAP2v2, VTA-VR? |

Kennesaw, GA | The thing FreeSwitch needs most is a GUI front-end. Programming in XML is not everyone's cup of tea...
I see HUGE potential for this project if someone (like FreePBX) will develop a GUI for it. |

I'm a software developer who specializes in open source telephony applications, and I've just finished my second FreeSwitch application for clients of mine. Apart from a lack of accurate documentation, it's a pleasure to work with; well designed and seems very stable. It can support many more concurrent calls than Asterisk. One of the best features is it's ability to allow a whole host of other open source applications to plug into it, like Pocket Sphinx, Speex, port audio, etc. |

| This is interesting stuff. I saw somewhere where Mark Spencer was defending Asterisk, saying the performance claims against Freeswitch were overblown and unfair.
Even the PIAF guys have toyed with Freeswitch, apparently mostly as a veiled threat to keep Digium honest.
It is certainly interesting to see the head of steam generated by Freeswitch as it takes mindshare...
