The logs would tell something... Do what posde said as well.

there are two places the call logs are stored. One which is the logs as they are exported in /var/log/asterisk/cdr-*, the second place is in the mysql databases. There is a call log table that contains those entries that you see displayed via the GUI interface. You'll find it in database asteriskcdrdb, called cdr.

hmm... This sounds very weird. What were the duration of the calls? Could you provide a log?

Idea: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Development
Description: Linuxmce needs a streamlined and simplified api for connecting user interfaces to the project. By replacing dedicated protocols and communication methods with a robust and standardized interface, RPC is designed to facilitate communication between client and server processes. The functions contained within RPC are accessible by any program that must communicate using a client/server methodology.
Skills Required: PHP, MySQL, C/C++, Client/Server side programming
Mentor: Hari

Idea: Rewrite of Orbiter (i.e. User Interface)
Description:Orbiters are the devices used to communicate/interface with LinuxMCE at the user level. The Orbiter devices display the standardized Orbiter User Interface (UI) from which users control all user-aspects and functionality of LinuxMCE. Orbiter can be on any devices/platform. Orbiter should be rewritten to use clutter as its canvas api. Orbiter should use abstracted rpc services to make development simpler and should employ a capabilities based UI only specifying what functionality is needed as the UI changes. Here are some general thoughts on the approach:
(1) Make a new main orbiter, based on clutter.
(2) Re-think the entire "screen" methodology to simply be capabilities "We are at a remote, it needs these functions" and leave layout policy completely to the target orbiter.
(3) Make it easy for others to write orbiters for their native devices.
Skills Required: PHP, MySQL, C/C++, OpenGL, and UI experience is a plus
Mentor: Thom

Idea: Rewriting IR Remote Control Architecture
Description: IR Remote Control Architecture allows you to decode and send infra-red signals of many commonly used remote controls. The current implementation has limitations. This would involve a re-write of IRBase library.
Skills Required: PHP, MySQL, C/C++

Idea: Rewrite the Bluetooth Dongle Code
Description: If you have Bluetooth in the computer that you will use as a LinuxMCE Media Director, this device turns your mobile phone into a remote control and gives you "follow-me" capabilities--your lighting preferences, media and more can follow you around the house.
Skills Required: PHP, MySQL, C/C++, Bluetooth device experience

Idea: Plugin to expose media and house status to web clients
Description:To enable more Orbiter type devices, a web Orbiter is a nice thing. The original web orbiter is fairly bandwidth hungry and not too fast. Ok for inhouse, but not really nice, especially over slower links.
To get the same type of functionality into a new breed of Orbiter, like the iOrbiter, the innards of the system need to be exposed, as to allow direct access to those values via AJAX or similar.
Skills Required:AJAX, JSON, RPC
Mentor: Hari?

Idea: RAID Support
Description: Full RAID support, including:
Automounting RAID arrays
Alerting: RAID status "Damaged/Rebuilding" - show a single confirmation on the orbiters only once, RAID status "Removed" - show a single confirmation on the orbiters that a drive has been removed and data could be compromised if another drive fails, and RAID status "Failed" - show a nag on all orbiters similar to the low disk space nag. This nag will not go away until remedied.
Fix Faulty RAID Drive in WebAdmin: When a drive is marked by mdadm as FAULTY, the user must fix this manually via the command line. However, this can be fixed by showing an additional button for that drive - "Remove" (or similar name). Then have the result of this action be an mdadm --remove /dev/mdx /dev/sdy. When the page refreshes, the drive will be listed as REMOVED, where there is already logic in place for the user reactivate the removed drive. This final addition should allow most any user to fix a damaged RAID array from the web admin.

Idea: LinuxMCE as Samba Domain Controller
Description: To allow the LinuxMCE core to act as a domain controller that would allow centralized logon to MySQL/LinuxMCE Web admin as well as MythWeb, RADIUS, Samba Shares and Domain Joined Computers (which can be XP Pro/Vista Business/Vista Ultimate/Any Linux computer that supports Kerberos or third party software to join to a domain). Here are other questions to be answered:
Should it serve purely as a Domain Controller?
How should it interact with LinuxMCE?
Should it use terminal services to install Windows Orbiter to Windows Desktops?
Skills Required: PHP, MySQL, C/C++, Samba

I guess I'll start this off:
Idea: Zoneminder Integration
Description: Although LinuxMCE offers many features Zoneminder offers, it would be great to have full integration of Zoneminder into LinuxMCE (with the ability for Zoneminder to be updated when LinuxMCE is updated). This would either involve attaching Zoneminder as a DCE device or making Zoneminder fully integrated with all of the Security/Video features. We may want to look into 'MythZoneminder' to assist.
Skills Required: PHP, MySQL, C/C++, Some Perl

I agree with los93sol... Just controlling it doesn't do much. Making it a MD, fully using the HD and all of it's features would work better.
