Hi all, I'm happy to announce that VozMob Drupal Distro (VozMobDD) version 0.5.1 has been released. VozMobDD is Drupal customized as a widely accessible mobile blogging platform. VozMobDD has been designed to make it easy to post content to Drupal from regular mobile phones via voice calls, SMS, or MMS. You don't need a smart phone to post blog entries - any phone will do :) VozMob comes with filters that clean up incoming multimedia messages, allows new users to register via SMS, and lets site editors send multimedia content out to registered users' mobile phones.

Key changes for v0.5.1:
* Organic Groups: Site editors can now create new OGs, easily assign them an email address that users can post to from their phones, and send sms blasts out to group members.
* Groups members admin: easier for Group admins to get to the membership admin page.
* Group content moderation: support for moderated groups, where incoming sms/mms are posted to OG but held for moderation by group editor. List UI for editor to moderate incoming content.
* Auto-tag posts based on 'to' address: Default behavior for posts to tag AT vozmob is now to create the new tag (if no Group exists).
* Hashtags in text body: Users can add tags in the body of sms or mms by using #tag.
* Account Merge: Site admins can merge user accounts, in case users create multiple accounts by switching phones or providers.
* Sort stories by attached media type: UI to view all stories with audio, video, or photos attached.

Noticed your work being done on smsframework, would be keen to see some of your work on supporting multiple numbers go back into the module. There is an old outstanding issue to work on this issue - http://drupal.org/node/459984

I have added an initial review of your changes there.

Congrats on the new release!

Just wanted to stop in and say that this is a great area to focus on! Hopefully I'll have to time take it for a test-spin at some point, and toss in some feedback :)

Oh hey, and would you

Oh hey, and would you consider adding another remote and mirroring on github? That tends to be how I contribute back in the non d.o world. Might seem like a bit of trouble for one person, but I feel you might be more likely to see action and interest on github. Cheers!

EDIT: Sorry. Research FAIL. https://github.com/mfb/vozmob

Wonderful idea!!

Groups.Drupal.org needs some increased spam filtering. Nobody likes getting email notifications about from comment spammers - myself included. An admin should delete that comment (linking to the SEO site).

The person's account is approximately 1 hour old... and he/she is posting spam.

Cheers,
