I checked out freepbx. 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.

I do have fusion installed on a text box although personally I'm not keen on it.

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. Anything new out or around the corner?
