This shouldn't be difficult to implement, but we'll have watch how source files are formatted a little closer to make sure they follow specific guidelines. The system currently gets the name of the source from the file name.
we could in theory dedicate a particular line in each file to a description. So we could dedicate line 2 in each file to a description of the source, and then read only line 2 from each file to determine it's description. The issue is that we can't actually fully include the source php file on the UI, or it will attempt to run and try to return caller id information. So we have to pick a specific line in each file, and make sure that each source file always uses line 2 (or 3, or 4...) for the purpose of a source description.

Jeremy - this seems simple and elegant to me. Would you consider developing this as a mini feature for 2.0.1? We are in a hold pattern while discussions of other matters are underway - I doubt the hold will be longer than 1 day.

The second line in each of the source files is now reserved for a description of the source which will appear in the UI.
The coding portion of this is done, some of the sources still need decent descriptions.

Tested the new description Flyout function on TrixBoxCE, Fonica PABX, PBXIAF 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and Foncordiax distributions and in FireFox and EI 7. No problems found, works as expected.
