[Freeswitch-users] conference calling ideas

[Steven Ward]

Szymon, I want to provide a service wherein a user can reserve a
teleconference room for a partiuclar time and control who can join the
conference call (only those invited).  I want to support several of
such conference calls at any given time.

I want callers who were not invited to a conference call, but who try to
call in, to be notified they can't join.

Also, it should be simple enough that the user just has to dial a number and
be able to know what to do from there to join the conference.

If the conference leader is late to the conference call and others try to
call in (before the conference is created), the callers should be notified
the conf leader hasn't started the conference yet.  Perhaps they can be told
to try later, or they can be put on hold.

These are the kinds of things I need to think about implementing, and I do
not know yet what other features would be useful.  Thanks.
