Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

:( It wasn't clear whether they'd definitely go bust originally, only that they'd go their separate ways...
I hope this hasn't resulted in delays, I was skeptical about them using STE's top-end SoC* (from perf. perspective let alone delivery), maybe they switched to Qualcomm long ago now.

*not sure they'd even use that anyway, probably the next one down :-/

"up to 6mth", anywhere from 0-6mth....

Anyway, can we please get back to the main focus/intent of this thread please (unless the case can be made that this content is relevant in some way).

Jolla have confirmed they at least intend to support CardDAV/CalDAV.

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

One for the docs I guess, have they said whether they'll support Google's new standard?
*EDIT* I've asked them using that Twitter link...

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

I let Stskeeps know about Google concerns and whitelisting etc. I'll add info that generic CalDAV / CarDAV will be supported to the doc. Do you want to transfer ready answers to maemo.org wiki? I'll have limited time these couple of weeks, I'll have more time later to do it.

I want to know if Jolla will have NFC? How big is NFC in china and is they using Mifare standard etc...

Question raised cause I port my nextgen NfcKeyring(stores all pins/password on phone crypotate using AES standard and Tag as AESKey) to Sailfish atm...

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

Can you help transfer stuff to the Wiki that's cleared-up, & and add new content (like what you just raised) to the docs?
I suspect there's other good content raised in this thread over the last mth or so that hasn't been added, but I'm not sure we should go back to open-slather access to the docs.

Still no response from them, typical...

update: seems they have provided a response now

Their response about STE's woes, not sure if much can be read into it though :-/

Excuse up front if this topic has been covered elsewhere.

I would like to know if Sailfish is going to support non-cloud synchronization solutions. Preferably by syncevolution support, (which would include MS ActiveSync support) to allow exchange with common PIM desktop-solutions, like Evolution and Mozilla Thunderbird.

AFAIK it doesn't work (at least I didn't get it to work) on the N900 and my N9*; - something that annoys me to no end. Would I have the skills I'd start working on something, but I'd rather see a Sailfish OS native solution, built-in and ready to roll.

It does surprise me, to hardly see any non-cloud results when googling. Does everyone use a cloud solution or is no one interested in desktop/mobile PIM exchange?

* I run Evolution on various Debian (based) systems.

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

Not sure about CardDAV, but for Caldav you can use calendarserver with most Linux distros. And sync against your local machine.

There is also davical - looks like it works with CardDAV.

Re: Sailfish(Jolla): Ideas/Qns & Concerns/Criticisms
 

I know, but the problem lies for me in the lack of platforms supporting it. For instance, my girlfriend runs Debian on her EEE, but has a Samsung SG2. Sometimes we share appointments, so I would rather go for ActiveSync (even though it's Microsoft), that at least is natively supported by Android as well as syncevolution. CardDAV is ok, but limited and buggy and not very much cross-platform, again, if I am not mistaken. Syncevolution with proper non-cloud support would allow me to use the same protocol sharing PIM with her Android and EEE machine from both my phone and desktop, which is also usefull during the maintenance of her EEE.

For me it would be a relieve if Sailfish would finally allow users to use an implementation of syncevolution that does not rely on a remote cloud server.
