So while I am waiting for other things, I have been debating what makes sense as "next steps" for development. However, when you are a person of one, it's easy to just stay inside your head and not go anywhere. I say that to say there is a lot of traffic to this thread, so I was wondering if there are thoughts in logical next steps (besides Chatty integration, packaging, and upstreaming). Right now I have come up with a couple of ideas:
Modem Manager: having mmsd autoprocess SMS WAPs:
https://source.puri.sm/kop316/mmsd/-/issues/6
I think this makes a lot of sense. I originally didn't add this due to the fact that Chatty/purple-mm-sms processes SMS WAPs and hands them off to mmsd. However, I think this allows mmsd to be more autonomous, and makes it easier for higher level applications to build in MMS support.
Modem Manager: having mmsd support SMS:
https://source.puri.sm/kop316/mmsd/-/issues/7
I don't know if I like this idea or not. I can see it being useful, but I also see it as mmsd doing more than MMS (which there is use in keeping it MMS only), and then it becomes a question of should mmsd also support sending SMS too?
For lack of a better option, I'll throw it out there and see if others have different ideas too.
