Compared to other brands Polycom sure could make it easier to configure 
their phones. The zillion (sub-sub-sub-sub-)xml options, (afaik) lack of 
a good xml editor that can handle the Polycom xml files on Linux and a 
500 page admin guide don't really scream easy. The bootserver is easy, 
IMHO an advanced configuration with a lot of features not so much.

Perhaps it's an idea to do a few "How to become a Polycom config master" 
sessions during the weekly conf call with video showing the steps to 
configure a Polycom phone with basic, advanced and very advanced configs?
