I got an email a few days back regarding the Jabber interaction with Asteristickies with some great suggestions for future features :

Hey Greg!

Wow, watching the forum, you’re really going to town on this!  Awesome stuff.
I’ll have to install a newer build!

Perhaps you could think about a dream integration  I have for
Asterisk/Jabber IM…

Imagine this:

- You have a jabber account
- You have a PIAF box.

You build a script that does this:

1 – When an incoming call comes in to a specific DID, you get the
following Jabber text message:

You have an incoming call to NXX-XXX-XXXX from ‘John Doe’
What would you like to do?
1 – let call go to voicemail (default; same as not responding)
2 – transfer to NXX-NXXX (pre-configured number)
3 – transfer to number entered in IM
4 – TTS text you type.

So, for example, if you were sitting in a meeting and an important
call notification came in,
you could, for example, TTS “I’m in a meeting, I’ll call back in 10 minutes”
Or, if you expecting a very important client call, force a transfer to
your cell phone.  A way to
circumvent standard behaviour.

For this to work, it must all happen between the 1st ring and the
timeout to voicemail.
I think this would be a VERY awesome integration… don’t know how to
do it on linux, as I’m a
.Net Windows guy.  I’ve built a mashup on Windows + Linux but just for
concept testing.

So I decided to investigate further – this is what I came up with.

Still only a proof of concept, you can imagine how this could benefit those with mobile devices and support teams.

I have successfully rolled out call transfer and call out, next in line are TTS (almost ready) and call forward.
