Bug#583866: RFA: asterisk-prompt-se
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi,
as announced last week, I'd like to find a new maintainer for the
Swedish voice prompts for Asterisk.
The current package is technically the newest version available, but I
doubt that Asterisk hasn't gained a significant amount of new features
in the last four years, so several "standard" prompts may me missing
now.
The packaging itself is simple, as only a bunch of data files needs to
be installed, so it is suitable for beginners. The major difficulty in
maintaining the package is that you cannot easily fix problems in
upstream's data, given that they are voice recordings -- so apart from
packaging technicalities, the central maintenance task is communication
with upstream.
There is one open bug, related to voicemail prompts; I'm currently
unsure whether it is trivial or would require upstream action.
The packager should ideally speak Swedish natively, both to verify
issues with the package and for easier communication with upstream;
also, experience with Asterisk is a major bonus.
It should be possible to maintain this package as part of the VoIP team
or on your own, depending on your preference; as far as I know, the team
does not have a native Swedish speaker, so they can only help with
technical issues (their build system is not for the faint of heart,
though).
