Great news ! I think ics support will allow a lot of things > For the contacts part, I would need some more input for requested data > sources.

I think it is a 'must have' feature if you do not want to re invent the wheel. There are so many different clients for syncml servers (PDA, palm, windows mobile, outlook, thunderbird, webpages, etc.) . Syncml is about to sync both ways. > > The Evolution / Pimlico stuff - I thought would be somehow outdated already > on the Openmoko!? The upcoming 2009 will be opimd?? Well, last time I looked > for it, it had not progressed much behind the initial idea. I think we must let the user choose. This is the power of free softwares. At the moment, opimd does not handle calendar, tasks and notes (I can be wrong) and -no offense to the developpers- we wait for it for quite a long time. If someone has some good news.. On the other side, pimlico already has a calendar and tasks application. I do not think pimlico is outdated but still in early stage. And opimd is not used by all the distributions. For example, Hackable:1 uses the pimlico suite to handle the contacts. I am really glad you and your brother work on this very needed feature for the openmoko ! Thanks a lot > > BTW: Has anybody yet tested PISI on a distribution other than OM 2008.12?
