The CLI is most definitely not for end users. The CLI is for admins and developers. End users need a purty GUI. FreeSWITCH is like being in the Lego store: all the bricks you can imagine, but you need to put them together.<br>
<br>I get the impression that a conference management interface is something that people want/need. My guess is that you won't find one for free, at least not until some generous soul writes one and gives it to the world. :)<br>
<br>In the meantime I'm sure there are FreeSWITCHers around who've done some simple Web-based conference call interfaces. They may not be free, or they may be "free" but not open-source, etc. Ask around.<br>

I agree in most part, however I am worried about non technical people<br>
working with xml to add/dchange extensions and routes, etc. I have<br>
gotten used to things somewhat, but what aboutthem. Also, reporting<br>
calling patterns from the database is a problem and also, conference<br>
status -- I just tried with someone and he didn't like the cli interface<br>
at all for conference manipulation.<br>
