Why does it take a team of people to develop the trixbox CE platform?
Q: trixbox CE is actually a very complex project. Not only do we have to author our original “dashboard” interface in PHP, but we now have folks who are constantly doing “welding” – baking in other 3rd party applications into RPMs so they can included in the distro. In addition, we are constantly spending time and money on interoperability. This means we spend considerable effort making various SIP phones, interface cards, network devices, etc. work reliably with trixbox. And of course, there is the considerable expense of managing such a massive community (database work, forum monitoring, hosting, etc.). The community has noticed the improvements, the least of which are the new levels of QA which go into each release. This is no longer a hobby distro – this is now a business phone system. As such, the quality requirements are of a much higher nature. Quality requires investment.
