[Freeswitch-users] snds directory tree is where?

[Jonas Gauffin]

Why not add a directory called "conf-default" or something like that.
Don't include a conf dir, let the users make a copy of "conf-default"
and rename it to "conf" if they are making an fresh install.

That would work with both fresh installs and upgrades.

The current README is quite empty, isnt it? =) Why not add a simple
quickstart guide or something like that?
  1. Make a copy of conf-default and name it "conf".
  2. Open conf/dialplan.xml and change the domain at line X, line Y.
  3. Open conf/default-context.xml and change bla bla

New options should be added to the conf-default directory only, but
please mention them in the README.

I'm also thinking about coding a dialplan module (c++ and sqlite) that
are using a DB as a backend and the provide a web interface for
adminstration of it. But it will take a while since I find it quite
hard to find information about the configuration. The module would
keep load everything from the db into the memory and only reload it
when the admin web notifies the module (through tcp/ip or something
like that).
