= Blueprint for the Messaging Module =

Current design is here:
 * http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php?id=dev:msg_archi
User Guide:
 * http://wiki.sahana.lk/doku.php?id=doc:message:english

What we need is:
 * Contacts List
 * Admin UI for:
  * Email Settings
  * [http://pyserial.wiki.sourceforge.net/pySerial PySerial]
  * [http://kannel.org Kannel] ([http://mobilehacking.org/index.php/PyKannel PyKannel])
  * [http://smstools3.kekekasvi.com SMSTools]
  * [http://rapidsms.org RapidSMS]
 * CAP alerts: http://talksahana.com/2009/03/04/firefox-browser-cap-alerting-plugin-sahana-idea-for-gsoc2009/
 * SMS alerts
 * SMS login / data entry / reports
 * [wiki:BluePrintMessagingModuleJ2ME J2ME client]

Q: How to get SMSTools daemon running from Webapp?
 * Perhaps this cron example will help:

tools.py has mail settings:
{{{
mail=MailS3()
# These settings should be made configurable as part of the Messaging Module
mail.settings.server='mail:25'
mail.sender='sahana@sahanapy.org'
}}}

Can use this to send emails with dynamic data inserted into templates (like HTML pages):
 * http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/f6c903f9c67cfe2e

Simple app for sending mails from a form (using smtplib):
 * http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/appliances/default/show/10

T2 supports sending emails:
{{{
self.email_server='localhost'
self.email_auth=''
def t2.email(self,sender,to,subject='test',message='test'):
}}}
