Dear @Kuria,
The main reason I put the idea forth was to give all like minded devs something that Devs can work towards.
Those who understand that we need to do this, whether at spare time or otherwise. It is a viable project that has long term benefits not only towards our market but outside. I believe the SMS market is growing and is not going to stop. The spread uses of the SMS are going to increase.
I'm not an open source dev so that puts me at a serious handicap on such a project, however I can share as much thoughts as possible or even my vision of such a project.
Nice of you to share your stalled projects, the attempts always teach us more. I can tell you these about mine ( of the 17 lined up ) :
- Project 16 : Back to my passion for Video. I started this almost 4 years ago ( not as a dev but a useless end user and a lot has changed now. )
- Project 17 - The final and for me the top project that encapsulates all the pain and gain of over 3-5 years of study. The attempt to have a a wireless model model car remotely controlled by kenyans using the web. The journey may cover 500Kms and about 20 Kms per day. There will be an online ticketing system that KE users can logon and actally drive the wireless model car. There are too many factors involved but hopefully when I get this going, Safcom 3g or clean Edge will be available along the route. What is the point? Create more and more awareness of the KE net and that the net is just not for websites alone. I'll need all the help with this one and will float the project as it nears. Will see, time will decide.
Rgds.

Dear Aki and others like minded,
It is clear that this project has no solid direction yet and is driven highly by passion. I am interested in being a part of it.
I would like to be involved in the user interface as thats my strong point.
The cool thing with being driven by passion is that one can go over more obstacles to get it done. If we dont get there, we will have learnt a lot and be wiser for other projects ahead, either way, we benefit.
