+====== FreePBX Queue Membership ======
+Queue members are stored within AstDB, which is a Sqlite3 database so these aren't found in config files. You can influence these using the queue memmber add/remove commands via AMI or if so inclined by accessing the AstDB directly (not recommended). You can get a list of members using show queue within Asterisk (or asterisk -rx "queue show nnnnn") but we can also leverage FreePBX to get a list using the framework.

+You can of course modify this code to change Queue Membership if needed. The recommended route is of course to use Asterisk's built in commands though. The format of AstDB *may* change in the future and this may break things for you.
+A scenario where this could be useful is when we're synchronising a list of queue members with a third party system. We use the code above to get a list of current members, then open a session with Asterisk via AMI and remove those who we don't want and add those we do.
+Remember queue membership changes occur right away and there's no need to do a dialplan reload etc.
