Well, one could say ActiveSync is gaining traction.  Anyway, just the
guy who mostly hacked on libsyncml and the syncml plugin over the last
years has moved on, he is not the original author.

There seem to be a couple of major bugs in syncml/libsyncml currently,
and so far nobody has stepped up to fix them, but this is open source,
somebody might show up in a while (people showed up to fixup the akonadi
plugin, e.g.).

There's syncevolution/libsynthesis as well, you might want to evaluate
that.

There's a couple of loose ends right now, but the akonadi plugin seems
to be moving forward slowly.  Once squeeze is out and I find some time,
I might try to start packaging subversion snapshots in experimental,
because the current release frequency of opensync is just too slow to be
useful.
