I am starting work on some of these wizards now.  I have created an IAX 
wizard which will allow you to put in some information and it spits out 
the relevant iax.conf and extensions.conf files for both asterisk 
boxes.... but I do find it somewhat lacking, and really only useful if 
you want to setup a pair of boxes.

What I am hoping to do is create a complete 0 to * wizard which will 
take you from nothing to everything.  So basically just install this 
little AstWeb thingy, hit the "Initial Wizard" or whatever we call it, 
answer some questions, and you've got a working Asterisk server which 
you can now customize and expand by using the other things in the AstWeb 
interface.

This is what I see AstWeb becoming anyways.  What I'd eventually like to 
see it become is a whole system for managing your Asterisk system.  You 
basically just install Asterisk from CVS or from the RPM or DEB (yah.. 
future considerations :)), then install the AstWeb interface, load it up 
in your browser and configure your Asterisk from there.  I could also 
see it becoming the everything module that, say for instance, if I have 
admin access, I can view logs, see MRTG type graphs showing load, users, 
what the interface capacity is (T1, ISDN etc..).  Maybe if I give an 
agent a login for the interface, then when that person logs in, they can 
see the people in queue, how long they have been there.  When a call 
comes to them, it picks up the CallerID and pulls up their information 
from a database record, such as what they have, when they have called, 
who the spoke with, and any notes the agent placed in their customer 
history.

These are just a few things that I think would be cool, and realize they 
are a bit off in the future, but hey :)  I'll just go back to seeing if 
I can get these wizards put together.

Thanks!
