| 17:52.52 | gtigene | I found an error in Volume One. How do I report it and, in particular, how do I specify exactly where the error is? :) |
| 18:21.10 | gtigene | In x958.html, example one does not work. Priority 3 and 4 don't get executed because it exits after recording the sound. I tried it. |
| 18:22.25 | gtigene | The playback should be at a different extension. For example *1 to record and *2 to play back. |
| 18:43.47 | jsmith | gtigene: Please report it to the mailing list. |
| 18:45.58 | gtigene | jsmith: Could you please tell me the email address to send it to? |
| 18:47.51 | jsmith | You'll need to join the asterisk-doc mailing list by going to http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-doc |
| 18:48.00 | gtigene | OK |
| 18:48.02 | jsmith | Then send a message to asterisk-doc@lists.digium.com/ |
| 18:48.55 | jsmith | To be honest, our book is almost out, and then it will replace the current docs. (We're planning on releasing the PDF version of the book at Astricon) |
| 18:50.30 | gtigene | So perhaps there is no point in proof-reading parts of Volume One? |
| 18:54.14 | jsmith | Well, it will certainly help people until October. |
| 18:54.44 | jsmith | But to be completely honest, we've rewritten most of what's up there for the book. |
| 18:55.42 | gtigene | I would like to be involved with Asterisk doc. What do you suggest? |
| 18:57.09 | jsmith | Join the mailing list :-) |
| 18:57.29 | jsmith | It's been quiet lately, because Leif and Jim and I have been off writing http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/asterisk/ |
| 18:57.58 | jsmith | But the book certainly doesn't cover everything, and it would be really good to get other things documented on the website. |
| 18:58.46 | gtigene | For example... ? |
| 19:00.36 | jsmith | Call queues aren't covered in the book. |
| 19:00.50 | jsmith | Not much is mentioned as far as connecting T1s to Asterisk. |
| 19:00.56 | jsmith | ISDN isn't covered at all. |
| 19:01.42 | gtigene | By T1, you mean voice T1? (What some folks call PRI) |
| 19:01.53 | gtigene | I have done call queue and PRI |
| 19:02.39 | gtigene | Not ISDN though |
| 19:02.53 | gtigene | Any other topics? |
| 19:05.04 | jsmith | I'm sure there are. |
| 19:05.08 | jsmith | Dundi. |
| 19:05.14 | jsmith | Distributed Asterisk systems. |
| 19:05.38 | jsmith | We don't cover bluetooth presense or chan_bluetooth. |
| 19:05.52 | jsmith | We don't cover H323 or MGCP or SCCP |
| 19:05.56 | jsmith | We don't cover Realtime |
| 19:06.02 | jsmith | We don't cover AES |
| 19:06.18 | jsmith | Most of the new things in 1.2 aren't covered, but probably will in the next edition. |
| 19:06.35 | gtigene | Asterisk Manager API? |
| 19:10.36 | gtigene | I could write about call queues and how to use PRI (with a TE405P Digium card), would those be something not covered in the book? |
| 19:11.27 | jsmith | Yes, that would be great. |
| 19:42.02 | cypromis | gtigene: ISDN = PRI |
| 19:42.17 | cypromis | *sigh* |
| 19:42.24 | jsmith | cypromis: Howdy... long time, no chat... |
| 19:42.37 | cypromis | people doing telephony should be forced to learn what they are talking about |
| 19:42.46 | cypromis | I was at cluecon |
| 19:43.01 | jsmith | cypromis: I'm an American... I shouldn't be required to know what I'm talking about :-) |
| 19:43.02 | cypromis | :) |
| 19:43.47 | cypromis | lol |
| 19:43.52 | cypromis | ulaws |
| 19:43.54 | cypromis | pah |
| 19:43.54 | cypromis | :P |
| 19:45.26 | jsmith | Yeah, us ulaws don't know jack about telephony. |
| 19:45.58 | jsmith | Honestly, I wish I knew more about telephony. And I probably know more than 80% of the Asterisk users... |
| 19:46.09 | MikeJ[Laptop] | hey.. get outa here a-law, ... you trouble maker |
| 19:47.59 | jsmith | Man, I can't wait for the book to come out, so I can start working on the second edition. |
| 19:48.28 | cypromis | hehe |
| 21:24.01 | gtigene | cypromis: ISDN is integrated services digital network and PRI is Primary Rate Interface. If they were both the same thing then why have two names? |
| 21:24.47 | jsmith | gtigene: They're not exactly the same... PRI is a form of ISDN. |
| 21:25.21 | jsmith | ISDN usually comes in two flavors -- either BRI (two B channels and a D channel) or PRI (23 B channels and a D channel) |
| 21:36.06 | gtigene | jsmith: Thank you. I will do some reading about this if I can find the appropriate reference. |
| 21:38.24 | cypromis | yeah in EUrope it is 30 B Channel and 2 D-Channel |
| 22:31.12 | MikeJ[Laptop] | sigh.. alaw... |
