Adhearsion-下一个Ruby杀手级应用？

 Artur Bergman 2008-08-11

Foo camp attendee Ben Black alerted me to Adhearsion, a framework for developing applications in the VoIP space. Think of it as a Ruby on Rails for telephony. Developed by Jay Philllps who got frustrated by the slow uptake of Asterisk.   Adhearsion is written in Ruby and lets those even without any VoIP experience write applications intuitively and productively or simply download and use a pre-written solution. With the framework extension architecture, VoIP functionality can now be actually traded around - an issue the VoIP industry has always suffered from. A fresh, standard Adhearsion system out of the box does what many companies spend thousands on. It includes a wide - and growing - set of features that should not have to be rewritten for every business that wants to implement them. And yes, this is open-source. Considering Microsoft spent around $800M on Tellme, I look forward to see what kind of applications this leads to, and what value they generate. We often forget the enormous market for telephone based services.   翻译：西门吹雪 Foo Camp营员Ben Black提醒我关注Adhearsion，这是个VoIP开发框架。您可以把它看作电话应用的Ruby on Rails。由Jay Phillps开发，他对Asterisk的缓慢发展失望之极。 Adhearsion是用Ruby写的，让即使没有VoIP经验的人也可以写应用，直观而富有成果，或者简单的下载一个预先写好的解决方案使用。通过这一框架扩展结构VoIP功能现在可以交易了——这是一直困扰VoIP产业的问题。 一个崭新的、标准的Adhearsion系统完成了很多公司花费高额成本做的事情。它包含了一套广泛的而且不断发展的功能，使用它们的公司无需重写它们。还有，它是开源的。 想想微软在Telllme上花费差不多8亿美元，我很希望看看Adhearsion将会产生什么样的应用，产生什么价值。大家常常忽视基于电话业务的巨大市场。
