[App_rpt-users] Bug fixes and feature updates to ASL asterisk

[Steve Passmore]

Thanks Steve for all you hard work on this.

I am involved with a couple other projects that use git and I find using
the issues section to track bugs and feature requests to be very
effective.  Is using git issues for ASL a viable idea?

Thanks,
Steve
