Freepbx v3, the complete rewrite that was supposed to work with freeswitch, actually got spun off into the blue.box project. Seems that the blue.box project is basically dead. The last commit was November 2011. Fusionpbx looks to be the only game in town. I was wrong, it is still being developed. I just did a new install of it today, and allowed it to auto update. There are indeed some changes that I see from my install from about 4 months ago. So that is a positive thing, but its too bad that the feel is still lacking. I took a look at some code, and what I saw did not impress me. Display code mixed right in with the logic. I did not look for more than about 30 seconds, but IMO it is not ‘proper’ application design. I am a big proponent of MVC architecture, and what I saw of fusionpbx code does not look all that impressive. I give credit where credit is due. The platform is functioning to an extent, most things actually work. I do realize that developing something of that size requires tons of effort. My ideal solution would be something driven by ExtJS and PHP on the backend. ExtJS provides the most advanced and rich javascript controls i have seen. Plus its sister product, sencha touch, would enable great admin functionality from a smartphone or tablet device. Here I go rambling on… I wish someone would develop an awesome GUI for freeswitch to help get it into the limelight where it deserves to be. If I had the time I would love to create a comprehensive and great looking GUI.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:black'>Brett Wilson<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>IT Department<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Launch 3 Ventures, LLC</span></b><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>134 Myer Street</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Hackensack, NJ 07601</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Phone:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'> 877.878.9134<br><b>Fax:</b> 646.536.3866</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>Email:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'> Brett.Wilson@launch3.net<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'>AOL IM:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'> Brett.Wilson@launch3.net<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'><a href="blocked::http://www.launch3.net/" title="blocked::http://www.launch3.net/"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>www.Launch3.net</span></a></span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:black'><a href="http://www.launch3telecom.com/"><span style='color:black'>www.Launch3telecom.com</span></a></span></u><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>***************************<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="http://launch3telecom.blogspot.com/"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=32 height=32 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CCFCD9.12B97AB0" alt="Description: Description: Blogger-logo"></span></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Launch-3-Telecom/165610820178720"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=32 height=32 id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image002.jpg@01CCFCD9.12B97AB0" alt="Description: Description: FaceBook-Logo"></span></a><a href="https://twitter.com/launch3telecom"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=32 height=32 id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image003.jpg@01CCFCD9.12B97AB0" alt="Description: Description: Twitter-Logo"></span></a><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Andrew Cassidy [mailto:andrew@cassidywebservices.co.uk] <br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, March 07, 2012 6:46 AM<br><b>To:</b> FreeSWITCH Users Help<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Freeswitch-users] State of GUIs<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Look at <a href="http://www.freepybx.org">http://www.freepybx.org</a> although I didn't manage to get it installed.

It seems that most of the gui projects (blue.box, fusionpbx) have been mostly abandoned in terms of development. I would like something simple for end users to self-administer if needed. The problem I have with fusionpbx is that config files are overwritten by whatever is in the database. If you hand-edit a config file, fusion will not parse the file and load those settings into the interface. I realize that takes much more coding to do than using a database to simply write config files. But I feel that the freeswitch interface could be improved anyway. Unfortunately it seems that project has been abandoned. There have not been any releases since mid-2011.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Anything new out or around the corner?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt'>Brett Wilson</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>IT Department</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Launch 3 Ventures, LLC</span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>134 Myer Street</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Hackensack, NJ 07601</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Phone:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> 877.878.9134<br><b>Fax:</b> 646.536.3866</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Email:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> <a href="mailto:Brett.Wilson@launch3.net" target="_blank">Brett.Wilson@launch3.net</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>AOL IM:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'> <a href="mailto:Brett.Wilson@launch3.net" target="_blank">Brett.Wilson@launch3.net</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><a href="http://www.Launch3.net">www.Launch3.net</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><u><span style='font-size:10.0pt'><a href="http://www.launch3telecom.com/" target="_blank">www.Launch3telecom.com</a></span></u><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>***************************<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><a href="http://launch3telecom.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=32 height=32 id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:image001.jpg@01CCFCD9.12B97AB0" alt="Description: Description: Blogger-logo"></span></a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Launch-3-Telecom/165610820178720" target="_blank"><span style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=32 height=32 id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image002.jpg@01CCFCD9.12B97AB0" alt="Description: Description: FaceBook-Logo"></span></a><a href="https://twitter.com/launch3telecom" target="_blank"><span style='text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=32 height=32 id="_x0000_i1027" src="cid:image003.jpg@01CCFCD9.12B97AB0" alt="Description: Description: Twitter-Logo"></span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'> <o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>_________________________________________________________________________<br>Professional FreeSWITCH Consulting Services:<br><a href="mailto:consulting@freeswitch.org">consulting@freeswitch.org</a><br><a href="http://www.freeswitchsolutions.com" target="_blank">http://www.freeswitchsolutions.com</a><br><br>FreeSWITCH-powered IP PBX: The CudaTel Communication Server<br><a href="http://www.cudatel.com" target="_blank">http://www.cudatel.com</a><br><br>Official FreeSWITCH Sites<br><a href="http://www.freeswitch.org" target="_blank">http://www.freeswitch.org</a><br><a href="http://wiki.freeswitch.org" target="_blank">http://wiki.freeswitch.org</a><br><a href="http://www.cluecon.com" target="_blank">http://www.cluecon.com</a><br><br>FreeSWITCH-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:FreeSWITCH-users@lists.freeswitch.org">FreeSWITCH-users@lists.freeswitch.org</a><br><a href="http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users" target="_blank">http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users</a><br>UNSUBSCRIBE:<a href="http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users" target="_blank">http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users</a><br><a href="http://www.freeswitch.org" target="_blank">http://www.freeswitch.org</a><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>-- <br>Andrew Cassidy BSc (Hons) MBCS<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Managing Director;
