Basically a good idea.  Don't make it hierarchical only - make it possible
to return to something ("main menu").

Add checks for "if the caller ID is ... go to node ...".

Add time based checks.  Add external programs to do checks ("if gert is
logged in and not idle more than 10 minutes, play different text").
