[VoIP] "Owner" column (was - Office code assignment wiki hacked)

Thu Oct 18 12:26:12 CDT 2007

In 'Europe', we've haven't had an 'owner' column for a while -  to give more 
room for 'description' and 'comments'. We still a have a number of people 
who haven't ensured that their name is not in the description column.  There 
shouldn't be a need for the name to appear may be 50 times in a column if 
people adjust their entry to include one or two of their 'contact' numbers 
in the description column.  The 'owner' of any code is available by clicking 
on the STD/Area code at the start of the number saving all the repetition 
and approx 10% of the screen area. The problem on the North American page 
(as with the European page) could soon be solved if the owner's name could 
be included against their main contact number.

Greg I think has our page set up OK now. The description column is limited 
to one line per number - so if the name is included in that column, it is 
easy to scan down the column to find a person. The 'Comments column can be 
more than one line hence it takes a bit more reading as you scroll down the 
page.

Even now as CNET expands here in the UK, the number of entries will only 
increase.  Currently we have 15 pages of numbers with more appearing as time 
goes on. Another Asterisk has come on line under test and probably more 
numbers with it.  Our different pattern of numbering probably accounts for 
the increase of codes/numbers in the UK.  The New Zealand page also includes 
all the names & contact numbers of  those involved bar one.
