Which one is correct place to hunt documentation, maemo community or forum nokia ? Confusing!

Quick answer: Google.

As maemo builds above a lot of opensource technologies, it doesn't try to replicate their documentation. As pointed by slimbian, Maemo documentation is highly decentralized. This is a characteristic not only of Maemo but of every major opensource technology. Do you want to learn about gstreamer general use then go to gstreamer.org, about gtk+, glib and gobject then go to gtk.org, about dbus then go to dbus.org. And so on.

Opensource programmers have managed to live this way, so you will manage as well.

Anyway, Nokia gives you as well a compendium of the documentations, pointing you in every case to the parent documentation:

http://maemo.org/development/sdks/ma...documentation/

Complement this with all the examples you can find through the cloud, the majority of which will be applicable to Maemo. Google is you friend.

just a tip: demanding documentation from nokia in here is as wrong as it can get. nokia isn't here, it is for example at forum nokia....

Hi,

the problem is, that the SMS functionality is based on telepathy, and it is not the easiest task to implement something on top of that. There exists an API documentation of telepathy, and you can find all the bits and pieces. You could use the DBus API, but the reason, why they are not officially published is that just the high-level API remains to be stable. You can use the DBus API, but no guarantee that your code will work after software upgrades. Further the high-level API should prevent you from making mistakes, which could actually influence the stability of the device.

With QtMobility things will be much easier. If you don't want to use Qt you can have a look at the garage project, which is Qt-based, but it should help you figuring out how to implement stuff on top of telepathy. And the example was announced already some time ago.
