Evan,
I have a basic plugin working (based on EndNoticeSave this time...good
point!) and I'm able to send sms notices using padpaw.
Now I need an event that will allow me to implement the sms opt in process
required by the carriers. We're thinking we could hook into the sms
registration process you already have for text by email. Would it be
possible for you to add an event that would give us the phone number when a
user requests sms?

I'd probably hook the EndNoticeSave event instead; that way you're sure
all the necessary data structures are set up. If you hook StartNoticeSave,
it's not impossible that the notice gets rejected by the DB for some
reason.
I also have a question regarding the addition of database tables. It
looks like objects that inherit from Memcached_Dataobject match the
database tables and inherit the database access from the base class. If
we were to add a database table, could we create a corresponding object
derived from Memcached_Dataobject and leverage that code?
I'd appreciate any suggestions you have that might help.
Yeah, absolutely. It's a complicated little process, though. It's probably
worth looking at the DB_DataObject documentation:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db-dataobject.php
Specifically, there's an autobuilder that will create config files and
class definitions based on a DB:
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.database.db-dataobject.intro-autobuilding.php
I made a specialized subclass of DB_DataObject which will cache objects in
Memcached. There's a setting for the autobuilder to accomplish this; it's
imperfect, though.
Let me know if you need any help; I believe Craig Andrews is doing
something similar.
