That would be incredible of you. Let's lower the barrier to entry to total noobs! The simpler we can make it the more successful the project will be.

LOL. I'd rather have a mediocre product and excellent marketing than the other way around; building a better mouse trap and sitting back is totally ineffective.

A second GUI wouldn't be a bad thing.

You're very, very right. Okay, so I'm going to need a web designer in the community to work with!

Given that this idea has only been floating around in my mind for 48 hours, I've barely thought about it. Although this is a FOSS project, I should apply all the rules of business I've been successfully applying for years.

I could agree the community needs to come together and JUST DO IT... but I can't count the times I have seen this thread before.

Okay, I'm going to schedule in a start date of the 16th. This will have my company backing it so it will be done!

Okay, leave this with me - I'll bring this together and do what's required. I'll see if I can squeeze it in ahead of schedule, but don't count on it. Also expect pleas for help at some stage, and I'll need a UI developer to create an awesome interface.

You'll all be hearing from me shortly!

Awesome

I need some thinking time to come up with a strategy, but I'll set up a project site soon so we can all collaborate on this.

I'm game to help out.  I have "product" experience with UI and stuff... (but please don't think that I'm a business wonk).  As a new freeswitch user it might be slightly harder to work with me rather than someone who knows the nuts and bolts of the system, but on the other hand, my n00b status might yield a more intuitive UI because it'll have to make sense to me in order to design it.

Please keep me in the loop or add me to any emails on the topic and I'll see how I can join in.

Okay great. What I'll be doing is creating the back-end. When the project kicks off, it would be far better for someone else to design a pretty and useable UI on top of that. You'd not really need to know much about the inner workings of FS. I'll probably just end up knocking up a fugly unstyled HTML interface for testing purposes, so you could just take it from there.

I'll be the business wonk!

I'll be setting up a project site on my company's intranet soon.

we created a #freeswitch-gui channel for talks such as these... I'm the only one idling in it most of the time, though
