That's a fair enough point. I make the following suggestion... I
suggest that we plan for a meeting at the start of March. I will
prepare an Asterisk demo for that meeting. In the second half of

wants to come along and hopefully we will get 5+ people. Does that
sound like a reasonable way forward?

If you're standing down and need someone to take over then I could do
that if that is what everyone wishes...
