Maya Messanger

this 2 scripts allow to send and read messages without leaving maya.
Its possible to write notes for a single shot and read only the messages
for this shot.
Its also possible to mark messages as read, so you just see the new messages.

So every teammember have to put the scripts in his  Users\User\Documents\maya\2012-x64\scripts
or another script directory.
 In both Scripts:
 Fill the Variables mySelf, teamMembers, inputStorePath
mySelf and teamMembers with only 2 characters, if you have 2 Persons with the same initials
use of capital and small initial letters
Fill the Input StorePath with a Path (we use it with dropbox folder), anFtp server mounted as a drive, or a FileServer
end the path with /

like this:
teamMembers =('RF','NL','MH','CB','PK')
mySelf = 'RF'
Path='C:/Users/RF/Dropbox/Hermit/Software/TXTmessages/'

to Use the scripts:
execute the rf_exeRead.py or rf_exeSend.py script for wrting or reading.
You can create shelf buttons with this two scripts.
