Let me elaborate further: what I am trying to find out is whether there is a place in MeeGo Core for peer-specific interoperability optimizations, like the one we did for Google Contacts. Primarily this is a question to the product managers, but I am interested in your position on this question and how it should be done. A second, unrelated note to the recipients of this mail: I have the complete Buteo team on CC as suggested by Sateesh earlier, to ensure that the email is delivered to your inboxes. Those of you who are subscribed to meego-dev and have one particular personal configuration option set will not be listed in CC of the emails sent by the mailing list server, and thus replies to those emails will not get delivered directly - please be aware of that and change your mailing list settings if you rely on getting a direct copy. I believe the setting controlling this is "Avoid duplicate copies of messages". -- Best Regards Patrick Ohly Senior Software Engineer Intel GmbH Open Source Technology Center Pützstr. 5 Phone: +49-228-2493652 53129 Bonn Germany _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
