It looks like that mailing list is an invite-only one, or else isn't the mailman on the server working correctly (I haven't yet received a confirmation E-mail). I'd be happy to join that mailing list and discuss the technical pieces of messaging with you guys.

Although we will have to check how we can blend-in such messages into the current API. It might mean that I will have to make the current API more flexible, maybe this can be solved internally within the implementations of that API, etcetera ... ? But I would be very happy to discuss this indeed. And I'm certainly willing to actively change things in order to support SMS and MMS type of messages. -- Philip Van Hoof, software developer home: me at pvanhoof dot be gnome: pvanhoof at gnome dot org http://www.pvanhoof.be/blog _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
