Asterisk-based User Speech Submission System

Submission by trevarthan (see original post here) 

I've been submitting requests for volunteers on my local linux user group (Chugalug && ALE) mailing lists. So far one person from the ALE list has mentioned using an automated IVR to ease the prompt recording burden. I know the quality would be much lower than what we normally want and therefore only usable for recognition in a similar environment, but I believe the PSTN environment is a large part of the target market and such a system would eliminate the user's need to install software and purchase a headset mic (everyone has a phone). Would this sort of system be useful for a low quality sub-project or side project?

I have a good bit of experience with asterisk. I would be willing to set up such a system. We would need some sort of integration with voxforge.org for meta data assignment (user gender, login name, etc) and audio upload, but we could retain the multi-prompt multi-file format.
