Thank you for your willingness to give back your changes. We appreciate you wanting to share.<div><br></div><div>Our resident Windows gurus no doubt have some technical questions for you. Perhaps you could get with them at some point and discuss your project. I think the biggest question they had was: Why? In other words, by doing all of this work to make FS play more nicely with Windows, what exactly do you gain?</div>

No, we would support the project and help users with issues; we simply would like to share our work back to the FS community as continue development because some of our new core code could be useful in the FS mainline. The best way to think of our branch is
it's kind of like trixbox - our goal is to provide an alternative to Microsoft Lync for enterprises. We will be offering for sale a commercial client, features and support services for our distribution while maintaining public and free open source core, basically
we are trying to give back to the FS project.

I wanted to reach out and get some feedback from everyone because my company started a project using FS as base several weeks ago, our goal was to optimize and integrate FS more directly into Windows environments. Here is my question, we would like to share
our changes and where should we host our project? Because we understand our build breaks compatibility with the UNIX environments and fails to meet the objectives cross platform compatibility, however it could contribute greatly and be beneficial to other
windows users.<br>
<br>
Here are some of the changes we have made:<br>
</span></font>
<ul>
<li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">We converted FS core to C++ and having it compiling to .NET 4.0 CLI
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">FS now runs inside its own namespace
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">We replace FS_CLI with a PowerShell shell app
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">Supports SQL Server support via the Native SQL Server Client API
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">Support for windows clustering (up to 32 node active/active cluster)
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">Ties more directly into the Win32 API and has less reliance on open source Libs
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">Replaces OpenSSL sockets with Windows encrypted sockets
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">Added windows performance monitoring
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">No longer need to use mod_managed for managed modules
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">Memory management relies on .Net garbage collection
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">Added support for Microsoft Speech
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">VoiceXML 3.0 and SCXML support
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">No longer supports JS, LUA, PHP development - Modules can be only developed in .NET, C or C++( we feel support for other languages can be added back in but falls outside the scope of our objectives
at this time, support for SCXML should make limit the need for other scripting languages)
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">Fixed RTP clock timing issues in virtualized environments
</span></font></li><li><font face="Monaco, Courier New"><span style="font-size:11pt">New configuration file format using .Net App Configuration files (kind of looks like an IIS config file)
