Hi all. I am the founder and lead developer of Zync and Zync-GUI. The only true sync solution for DTM based Zaurus ROMs. I have been working my but off trying to get this thing totally implemented and into a solid beta stage. However, I have heard from very few of you in testing it. This is some what sad, I would have thought that such an effort to provide a good solution for synchronization would mean a lot to the Linux/Zaurus community.
Well, I've just bought a C860, new user here, and I'm willing to give feedback to help improve anything you develop, but I've got a suggestion for you. I don't know if it's been discussed before, but I'll throw my two cents anyway.
Being a kde cvs user myself, I believe kdepim developers aren't yet into the syncing business, as their main efforts are headed to groupware solutions (god bless Kolab Imap resource).
But in the meantime, while they realize about the fact that PIM should sync with anything, a new project is being developed right now, which could help to solve this situation.
I'm talking about
OpenSync. Even though it's about to reach beta stages it already includes support for kdepim and evolution among others.
Why don't you develop a DTM plugin for OpenSync?
You wouldn't have to choose between evolution or kde, just program a plugin based in the opensync framework.
Finally they got rid of multisync gnomish dependencies, it's just a plain c project, without unneeded software layers.
And sooner or later kdepim people will realize that opensync project is a good thing.
Opinions?
(After writing this stuff, I've noticed you wrote an email to the opensync ml, that's great... )
Recently there was a kdepim hackers meeting in osnabrueck,
this is what they had to say about syncing
