Document Organization

The LEAP Manifesto is organized as a series of largely independent articles. Each of these articles stands on its own, and can be read and understood independently of the others. Together, these articles provide a complete picture of the Mobile Messaging industry and the role of the LEAP protocols. Since each article is intended to be self-contained, some material is duplicated in more than one article.

The status of the draft articles of The LEAP Manifesto in this document are ``In Progress'':

Operation WhiteBerry.

A description of how all the capabilities of the closed RIM BlackBerry mobile messaging solution can be duplicated using existing open-source software implementations of LEAP, and existing off-the-shelf hardware components.
Article status: In Progress

EMSD on Palm OS.

A technical paper describing the architecture and implementation of EMSD on Palm OS devices.
Article status: In Progress

LEAP and Bluetooth.

Article status: In Progress

As additional articles are completed and/or revised, they will be included in the Manifesto and made available on the LEAP Forum website at http://www.LeapForum.org/leap/index.html.

At the time of writing (July 2000), The LEAP Manifesto is undergoing active development, and new material is being added weekly. Interested persons are encouraged to check the above websites frequently to get the latest version of each article.
