New project: Stop Rude Calls

Here's a new project available from SourceForge: Stop Rude Calls, which attempts to distinguish between a human and a non-human caller. If the caller is human, the call goes through; if the call is from a machine, we can send it to voice mail.

This is a pre-alpha for testing, and if you call the demo line, you will just hear what happens and then be dumped at the end of the call instead of routed onwards. Any developer could substitute a "transfer" element for one of my "disconnect" elements and have a working system, but I have some improvements in mind; hence the pre-alpha status.

Suggestions and participation in the project are both welcome.
