Sahana Messaging Architecture
The Sahana Messaging architecture follows some important goals
- Standards Based
- F/OSS Component Reusability

Messaging in Sahana is currently implemented as a module under <sahana-folder>/mod/msg.
The Sahana Messaging is designed with reuse and standards in mind.
Overview Architecture
Features of the Current Messaging Module

- Ability to access Sahana via SMS menus
- Windows Installer for SMSTools
- Gnokii plugin (to use Symbian phones without full AT commands)
