I've certainly considered it -- but first I want to put together a sync mechanism that * doesn't care how many places you sync with, * doesn't care whether the places sync amongst each other. * provides syntactic guarantees about merged updates. Such a sync mechanism I need for more things than an improved PIM. What I most miss in GPE is a to-do list that lets me order the items myself, perhaps by dragging them up and down the list. I could do that on the Palm if I used their memo tool as a to-do list. I completely ignored the official to-do list on the Palm. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
