We're doing something like this. A user can define a number of different groups they
notify on a regular basis (ilke "managers" or "on call staff" or whatever); in that
group they can set the notification method for each person to either page or email
them. They can then type up a quick message and hit send. They can of course send to
individuals as well.
Hitting send in the portlet queues the send requests to a table in the db. A small
background app (separate entirely from jetspeed) checks that table once a minute or
whatever for new requests. If there are any, it determines the type of message to
send and uses either snpp or javax.mail to send the message.
It works pretty well.

Hi,
I have an idea I would like to explore and am curious if anyone has any experience
with something similiar.
1) I have extended the user's profile with cell phone/pager number and carrier (like
Sprint, VZW, ATTWS, etc.).
2) I would like to allow certain portal users to be able to add other portal users to
a disbtribution (buddy) list.
3) Those users could then use a form to generate a message that is then sent (via the
correct gateways) to the portal users mobile device on this distribution list.
4) Yes, this is a lot like the messaging already available from Yahoo, etc.
Thanks,
Mike
