What we built, and when.

Status updates from the people building Kahevo, from its first days as a small project called Pidgin Talk to this week. The wins, and the faceplants too.

  2. A dashboard that moves

    Lines in use, parked callers and today's totals, updating as calls happen.

  3. Logs you can search

    The call log and a new system log, both searchable by date and keyword.

  4. The system finds its voice

    Standard spoken prompts come built in, and any of them can be replaced with your own recording.

  5. Intercom

    Dial *80 and an extension, and that desk phone answers on speaker by itself.

  6. Names instead of numbers

    A shared contact list that shows who is calling, on every phone and in the call log.

  7. Call recording

    Record an extension's calls, outside only or all, with each side on its own channel.

  8. Available, away, busy

    Set your status from the web page or the phone, and choose where your calls go for each.

  10. Shared mailboxes

    One mailbox several people can check, such as a general or after-hours box.

  11. Blocked callers

    A list of numbers and patterns to refuse, with allow entries that always win.

  12. Holidays

    Closed days that repeat every year, including the ones that move, like the fourth Thursday of November.

  13. Business hours

    Schedules with opening hours, a closed message, and somewhere to send callers after hours.

  14. Buttons that light up

    Programmable keys on desk phones: lines, colleagues' busy lights, speed dials and park lines.

  15. Park it

    Park a call on a numbered line and pick it up from any phone.

  16. Encrypted calls

    Signaling over TLS and encrypted audio, for desk phones and for providers.

  17. Better sound

    Wideband voice arrives, and the system converts between codecs only when it has to.
