Hi Stefan,
Thanks for volunteering. I think you are in the best position to judge which applications are in popular demand and should be included. In the initial release, I think we should focus on things that do not have external dependencies (i.e. PSTN etc), as this will probably complicate things. I prefer to create a focused, limited-functionality 1.0 release and then rather quickly add more stuff instead of taking forever with 1.0.

I think we should focus on enterprise-type apps in the beginning.

Hi Greger and all others,

I like the idea very much and I will try to contribute on the SEMS side. 
What do we want to have in services? voicemail, away announcement and 
dial-in conference for the beginning? Maybe a prepaid b2b with SIP 
authentication towards a gateway so people can easily and in a cheap way 
(no setup fee) provide prepaid outbound PSTN connectivity?

Hi guys, thanks a bunch for lots of input and I really appreciate the 
willingness to contribute.
Thus, I have created a "project page":
http://www.iptel.org/sip_express_bundle_sip_service_in_15_minutes

I thought we could gather the current perspective on that page and 
document our decisions as we go. It will hopefully be useful in our 
process, as well as documentation for us and others later.

I have noted the following volunteers:
Jai: testing and installation work
ram: testing
SIP: tesing
Jiri: anyting?
Mike: testing and documentation

   Stefan: SEMS support

Maybe we should set up a small mailing list for coordination emails, but 
for now, let's use serusers (where I think all the comments came). (I 
copy the other lists on this post, so the other lists know that the 
discussion will move to serusers).

Out of the comments, I read CentOS and vmware as the most wanted 
combination. I have documented the pros and cons on the project page, 
and suggest that we do some testing before we decide. I also tried out 
rpath (which I have no previous experience with). My observations are 
documented on the same page.

Thus, I have started setting up a minimal CentOS virtual appliance found 
in vmware's appliance directory on an esx server. I will send details on 
accessing it to the volunteers once it is up and running (decompressing, 
unpacking, and building a non-split disk takes an awful lot of time :-( ).

Ok, further comments, ideas, etc, please post to serusers or edit/add 
comments to the project page (requires an iptel.org account).  I see the 
following steps with documentation as we go (steps also found on the 
project page):
1. Testing and specification of what we want to accomplish
2. Environment and OS setup to ensure that we easily can release new 
versions
3. Installation and configuration of the software. I assume this step 
also will involve development of some tools we need, as well as 
adaptation of existing stuff
4. Testing and user documentation
5. Packaging and deployment

Let's get going!
