Detail

developer to briefly contact folks offering bounty before commencing
if this involves changes to Asterisk, code properly disclaimed and accepted in to CVS
code well documented, many many notes
do not yet know how to handle authentication issues, please suggest
considers scalability as more & more users hit manager interface, for instance, if we use manager interface, performance hit will result
designed to be as “open” as possible so more features can be added later
will be delivered in form of a DLL which sits on client’s laptop & very easily installs as DLL add-in in to Outlook
users of CCM, BCM, AltiGen, etc are asked & encouraged to post features/functionalities that those systems use
this bounty focuses on Outlook integration. Voicemail synchronization is a seperate issue.

Please post as many notes as possible here.
This is going to be a huge feature!
This is a giant killer … a dragon slayer.

Most of this has been implemented in Snap. If there is a specific Outlook feature you need, please try Snap and let us know, chances are good that we will work with you and implement them.
