<h4>Does EnvayaSMS use envaya.org's servers?</h4>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
No. When using EnvayaSMS, you connect it to your own web server.
|
||||||
|
The EnvayaSMS Android app does not connect to <a href='http://envaya.org'>envaya.org</a> or any third-party servers.
|
||||||
|
In particular, you do not need to register for <a href='http://envaya.org'>envaya.org</a>.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
For information about configuring a web server to connect to EnvayaSMS, see the <a href='serverapi.html'>API Reference</a> page.

<h4>What is the relationship between EnvayaSMS and envaya.org?</h4>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
We originally developed EnvayaSMS to enable civil society organizations in East Africa to interact with
|
||||||
|
<a href='http://envaya.org'>envaya.org</a> via SMS and MMS, such as by posting news updates and photos
|
||||||
|
to their website.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
We realized that EnvayaSMS would be useful for any web service that needs to send and receive SMS/MMS,
|
||||||
|
and decided to make EnvayaSMS available for anyone building their own applications.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Development of EnvayaSMS is currently led by the <a href='http://envaya.org'>envaya.org</a> team,
|
||||||
|
but anyone is welcome to contribute to improve it.

||||||

<h4>What is the relationship between EnvayaSMS and KalSMS?</h4>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The source code for EnvayaSMS was originally based on <a href='https://github.com/niryariv/kalsms/'>KalSMS</a>, an open-source project
|
||||||
|
started by Nir Yariv in 2010 that introduced the idea of a simple SMS gateway implemented entirely as an Android app.
|
||||||
|
EnvayaSMS is a complete rewrite that shares little code with KalSMS.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
EnvayaSMS builds upon the idea of KalSMS by adding many new features that would be necessary for anyone deploying an SMS gateway in the field,
|
||||||
|
such as sending more than 100 messages per hour, authenticating the phone to the server, and retrying forwarding messages after transient errors.
|
||||||
|
For a complete list of changes, see the <a href='history.html'>History</a> page.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
EnvayaSMS's server API is incompatible with that of KalSMS. Anyone switching from KalSMS to EnvayaSMS must
|
||||||
|
update their server to use the new API described on the <a href='serverapi.html'>API Reference</a> page.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
As of 2011, KalSMS is no longer actively developed, and new development will occur on the EnvayaSMS project.
