  2. Future releases

    There are a number of features that we will include in future releases, one at a time. Do stay tuned to our website for updates. Some interesting features that we are sure to provide include the following:

    • Internationalization of the user-interface to support multiple languages. A virtual keyboard to take user-input in different languages.

    • Networking with other GRINS deployments. The deployments will discover each other automatically, and allow operators to exchange and share content with other radio stations.

    • SMS service, to receive and send SMS messages at the radio station.

    • Multi-lingual search. We are using Lucene at the back-end, but we have not had a chance of think about good ways to do multi-lingual search. If you have some ideas, do write to us!
