[Freeswitch-users] VxML Parser?

[Andrew Gilbert]

I am just an observer of FS.  What I am impressed with is the  
extensibility. And I am curious about xml models (vxml, proprietary  
xml) vs scripting (lua, python, etc). That is why I asked.

That said, sounds like the pieces are all waiting for the right  
motivation and resource set. I can't rule out helping, but can't  
promise much yet either.

Lastly, curious about the "not very good" part or your response. Is  
this a reference to OpenVXI or one of it's derivatives?

(and wikipbx does look cool....)
