Hi,
I'm forwarding your message to the chandler-dev list, where there's
been a related discussion on writing a CalDAV-to-SyncML or Chandler
Morse Code-to-SyncML bridge, proposed by Jared.
If you aren't already, you can subscribe to the dev list here: http://

Best,
Mimi

Subject: [chandler-users] syncml Re: Chandler and PDA/Mobile/
Smartphone
adding to my thoughts below, I did some more googling and came
across SyncML, a standard used by Nokia and many other devices,
including IPhone (using third party tool)
Looking for an open source framework that could be used to add
SyncML support to Chandler I came across OpenSync (successor of
Multisync)
http://www.opensync.org/
The next question would be: How much work is it to add SyncML
support to Chandler ?
There is already a reply from 2003, which says its quick for a
first running demo.
http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/SyncML
Is there anybody on the list, which has enough Chandler Code
knowledge to team up doing the project of a very simple chandler to
todo syncML service? I am a newy to Phyton, Chandler Code and
SyncML - so the best I could do is understand, provide code after
guidance and motivate ;)

am having the same problem. And I think the real issue is that
Chandler is
so advanced in it's "Items" notion that it is hard to even just
match to
other PIM designs.
Here is a try to outline how things can work, please someone shed
light on
my errors and outline if something works alread:
Chandler
syncs with
Item A in Collection Homework stamped Adress
generic Adressbook (1way, using SyncML ?)
Item B in Collection Homework stamped Calender
generic Cal Application 1way, using CalDAV
Item C in Collection Homework NOT stamped
generic ToDo Application (using SyncML)
My suggestions:
a) Let A,B also sync with ToDo ? If ToDo is the only place to make
changes
the data model is simple enough for synchronization.
b) A,B find a oneway sync as most important on the road is the
overview of
available timeslots, or know address, new entries (calender or
adress)
could pop up in chandler as not stamped and then stamping is added
on desktop
and one way syncing distributes.
This still requires one way syncing of Calender and one way
syncing of
Adresses
c) implement a very simply "quick view and entry" application for
ToDos on
mobile device that syncs natively with Chandler, or provide a
connector
that uses existing application. I think SyncML is most important
standard
here (?)
any comments ?

Here are my findings regarding iPhone and Chandler-Hub/Cosmo-
Server to
date:
1.0 Mac:
- Since iPhone syncs with iCal.app...
- iCal.app is a CalDav (from OS 10.5 Leopard) and iCalendar client
- iCal.app does 1-way or 2-way sync with Cosmo Server
- iPhone does 2-way sync with iCal.app
- iPhone effectively does 2-way sync with Cosmo Server
2.0 Windows
- Since iPhone syncs only with Outlook 2003/2007...
2.1 Out-of-the-box XP
- Don't wan't to buy/use Outlook...
- No iPhone sync
2.2 Outlook 2-way
- Since OL doesn't support CalDav
- Can't get http://openconnector.org/ to work (CalDav for OL)
- No iPhone 2-way sync via OL, yet
2.3.1 Outlook 1-way subscribe
- Subscribe to calendar on Cosmo from OL
- iPhone can't sync with such "external" calendars!
- No iPhone 1-way sync via OL
2.3.2 OUtlook 1-way import
- Export .ics from Chandler
- Import .ics into OL
- iPhone syncs 2-way with OL via iTunes
- iPhone effectively does 1-way sync with Chandler via OL
- Should work, but itunes/OL sync is broken for many users
3.0 Over-the-air
3.1 NemusSync 1-way via Google Calendar
- Export .ics from Chandler
- Import .ics into gCal
- Jailbroken iPhone does 1/2-way sync with gGal OTA via NemusSync
- iPhone effectively does 1-way sync with Cosmo Server via gGal
3.2 Funambol 2-way via Thunderbird/Lightning via Funambol server
- www.forge.funambol.org is an opensource SyncML project
- Thunderbird/Lightning syncs 2-way with Cosmo over CalDav
- Tb/Ln sycs 2-way with Funambol server using Funambol Tb/Ln plugin
- iPhone syncs 2-way with Funambol server using Funambol iPHone app
- But Funambol iPHone app syncs contacts only
- No iPhone 2-way sync via SyncML, yet
We currently use a local Cosmo server with Chandler clients. XP
is my
primary work machine, so 1.0 is out. I don't use and I don't want to
buy Outlook, so 2.x are out. I don't want't to rely on the cloud,
so 3.1
is out. As you can see, the situation is rather dire on the windows
side.
Apple should make iTunes talk to any CalDav server, especially since
this
is the path it is following on the Mac side. Apple should also
open up
whatever API is needed so that Funambol can support event sync as
well,
and
NemusSync can work on un-jailbroken phones. Since NemuSync is
working
quite
with with gCal presumably over CalDav, I have asked on their forum
groups.google.com/group/nemussync suggesting the support of local
CalDav
server as
well as gCal.
Can this outline form some sort of skeleton wiki others doing
similar
investigations to add to?
