Jay am I to take your response as you are interested in helping with the
development of the project and have some background in C#?

We encourage people to make GUIs for FreeSWITCH and we have mixed results. 
Being controlled externally is actually baked into the design of FreeSWITCH.
 Many of the abstract concepts int the core that people are still unearthing
are all about developing external apps.  The exercise to build one was
intentionally left to the end user.  The point was to harness the hard part
about telephony so you could focus on your business use case.  Really, based
on the requirements of the original poster, I think a comercial solution is
in order. I also would not judge activity by release dates / commits etc.  
FreeSWITCH itself has not been released since 2009 yet the C code has grown
by 35 megabits since then with commits nearly hourly.  We just happen to be
more open about our development than others may be comfortable with.


Anyway, I know for a fact all of the above list in the original post are
still up and running but not everyone has the resources to run an active
community.  



As referred to earlier in this thread, we made the CudaTEL PBX at Barracuda
Networks which is an appliance designed to do everything described above and
that effort could not be done without a commercial incentive to develop it
and a team of dedicated employees.


Everything you ever wanted is typically hard to come by when dealing with
Free GUIs so the alternative is to invest in one of them and get them to
focus on the functionality you seek.

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.

Look at http://www.freepybx.org although I didn't manage to get it installed
 I do have fusion installed on a text box although personally I'm not keen
on it.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone had any info on the current state of FS guis? 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?
