Hi Paul,
Thanks for sharing this application. If you are willing Project
Wonder would be a good home for this framework.
Happy New Year!

I'd like to share the relaunch of our WebObjects/Wonder/WOLips
website 'Treasuremytext' plus an invitation to try out the closed
beta with the WO Community. I figured this was the best place but
apologies first if anyone finds it a bit off topic.
A quick background to this. Treasuremytext is a simple SMS text
message storage service. This new version is an attempt to bring it
bang up to date using all the recent developments in WebObjects.
During its redevelopment WOLips, Wonder, the lists and Wiki
resources have all played a big role and proven invaluable. A huge
amount of thanks to everyone here and in the community for keeping
WebObjects alive and kicking and providing so many great resources
and tools.
Our main objective with this relaunch was to enhance the site using
using modern web development techniques. Ajax, drag n drop, betas,
invites, colourful gradients & reflections are all features of the
site bringing it into a modern Web 2.0 era. We're really happy with
the results and we hope this is a great showcase and example of the
use of WebObjects.
Currently the site is only open to invites (of course, being a web2
thing) but we've added an open invite for WebObjects people. To use
it you need to do this:
1. Visit http://beta.treasuremytext.com
2. Click on 'Create Account'.
3. You'll be told to ask for an invite by email, here just use the
email address 'email@hidden' to get straight in
through the back door.
Two caveats for its use. We are currently operating on a Dutch
mobile GSM number so if your in the US it will only work with ATT
and T-Mobile. The second if your on an iPhone you'll have to look
around for a thing called SMSD for forwarding messages, this is a
stopgap until the iPhone SDK becomes available after which we plan
to do something much more integrated.
Regards the SMS integration if anyone else needs such a thing, I've
implemented this in a framework using the Logica OpenSMPP Java
library. I'd be happy to share after cleaning it up if anyone has
any use for such a thing. It's only useful if you have an SMPP
Gateway provider to integrate with but these are simple to get. You
can do lots of fun stuff with SMS!
