What is glinuxsms?
glinuxsms is a GNOME2 GUI/front-end for linuxsms, an interesting tool to send SMS to cellphones all over the world.With glinuxsms you just write your message and click SEND, no need to get write the full command on a terminal.
It uses linuxsms as a backend, and its configuration files as well.
The main purpose for now is to keep it simple and light.
Why should you use it?
If you are a GNOME user, then you may SMS message your contacts with a few clicks, no need to launch a xterm to write the full commands.Download

Wish List
Though already providing basic functionality, there is some stuff I'd like to see in glinuxsms:- glinuxsms icon
- (at work) Character counter based on server's limit (sug. by jonas)
- (at work) Address Book and Server/Password (linuxsms format)
- (already addressed) libglade support
- Translation support (perhaps YOU can help)
- Microsoft Windows support (I assume that since this is Perl and GTK-based, it will work out-of-box, but some testing would be nice)
- People using it and sending feedback
Technical Notes
It's being developed with GNOME 2.4, and it's tools. Effort is being made to use libglade, still some problems with connecting signals.Acknoledgements
