Putting Asterisk TeleYapper to the Test
For those that are new to Nerd Vittles, you may not recall that, on Valentine's Day in 2006, we released TeleYapper, a telephone broadcasting system that distributes reminders and other messages to large or small groups of people by phone, of course. Believe it or not, it still works with almost all versions of TrixBox and Asterisk@Home 2.5 or later.
But, it's one thing to develop a piece of software that can send unattended telephone reminders to your clients, patients, or Little League team. It's quite another to actually use it for a huge project and find out where all the warts are. As the resident cheerleader in our new neighborhood, I was wrestling with how to get detailed information about a meeting to review a proposed zoning change to a group of 700+ homeowners... in a hurry.
Delivering flyers door-to-door was not going to happen. E-mail was certainly an option, but that unfortunately is hit and miss these days. With spam blockers, spam filters, missing email addresses, and verification requirements from companies such EarthLink, we decided we could only count on a delivery success rate of about 50 per cent.
