I'll have it. :) It mostly includes what I see as lack of useful authorization vs. authentication support. The short story:
I want to be able to say "user graff has passwor foo, and can receive calls on and dial out using identities sip:7004@isc.org, sip:graff@isc.org, and sip:michael_graff@isc.org"
Someone else already requested this feature too, so it will show up in ser in course of the time. Maybe authors of the modules in question will give you a better status update. Right now, there is only the possibility to enforce digest_id==user_name_in_from.
What open source products are people using for voice mail,
I'm not aware of one I could recommend, a reason why we started developing our own. I hope a beta version will be out by end of February (may be to optimistic forecast, though). But it may be just my ignorance -- the asterisk project may perhaps work.
Want assistance? We're an open source shop here, and I might be able to spend some time on things if there's something already happening.
That's very nice. Let me tell you where we are and what we plan to do: - we plan to keep maintaining ser "as is", add some small features like those you request and work on keeping it small and sane - we have already started designing external applications that utilize ser but stay away from it; voicemail is work in progress, and a pre-alpha testing version will be out in February; any testing, intergration, feedback, etc. will be appreciated then; see a rough draft on its design http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/ser/sip_router/doc/tmem... - when that is up and running, we will expand it to a programmable media server; a very first draft on that can be found at http://cvs.berlios.de/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/ser/sip_router/doc/tmem...
If you have any comments on the drafts, or have some particular idea what you would like to contribute, let me know. I'm not aware of some good self-contained assignments right now -- the first stage of voicemail is completing and we are still discussing design of the generalized media server.
I tried contacting the people who have an "exclusive license from Columbia" for the code base, but they don't answer. They also don't list a SIP phone number on their pages.
Perhaps Henning Schulzrinne will not mind if you contact him directly.
