In response to a couple of previous posts: - a PSP/mobile browsing solution (based on XHTML MP) would definitely be nice, but would presumably be a separate front-end from a more AJAX-y all-singing full web browser interface - SMS costs could be covered by users registering for the service, and paying for "bundles" of texts to be used. I believe there is an existing service (groupSMS) that does something along these lines already, so I don't think covering SMS costs is considered a commercial application (and would therefore not cause a problem with backstage conditions of use)
In a way though I think we're jumping the gun a little - I was first of all wondering who (if anyone) would be interested in combining some efforts. What shape a combined app/service should take is probably the second step. Oh, and before I forget - whoever wins the server has to host the beast :-) On 10/6/05, Adam Leach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I will very happily help in the development of this system.
