Project difficulty is listed on a 1 through 5 scale. A 1 would be a project
|

appropriate for a college student with familiarity with C programming, but no

experience with the Asterisk code base, or even Asterisk itself. A project with

a difficulty of 5 would be something appropriate for a student that already has

significant experience with the Asterisk code base.

1) There are a number of projects that fall into the category of improving and
