I have opensync, msynctool and the GPE and file plug-ins built and packages created but I haven't started testing them yet (they install and run but I need to see if they actually sync!). Once I get file and GPE working reasonably well I will have a go at the SyncML plugin, which is both much more complex and is currently undergoing active development.

But your comment has prompted me to try to make some more progress tonight. If people are interested I can create another topic to track progress on Opensync. And if anyone is interested in helping out, for example by testing sync with different devices/systems, let me know.

The big problem is going to be that there is no good GUI. I am not a GUI guy and we could really do with someone willing to work on creating a GUI for local syncing on the tablet. I believe there are python bindings available for opensync so it may be easiest to create in python (I'm not a python guy either!).

This is a good place to muse but I would recommend entering them (as enhancements) into the GPE bugzilla (http://bugs.linuxtogo.org/). Unfortunately, the person who was most recently working on gpe-calendar has left the project and no one is actively developing it at the moment (two or three of us hacked it around to do the chinook port but none of us is working on new features). Putting them in the bugzilla at least means they will be there when someone starts working on it again.

In the meantime, if anyone thinks they might like to have a go at improving it, feel free to work on it and submit patches! All help is welcome!!
