Hi Thomas, We have had requests for a GPE plugin in the past. Last time I looked the GPE PIM backend was not very accessible, but perhaps things have improved since then.
I am the primary author of the Opie plugin, so I'll be happy to help you with this. There may be code in common between the plugins, so we should share rather than duplicate if possible. I might event install GPE on my iPaq for testing :) I would echo Bo's sentiment about not pulling the entire database over to the PC and the rewriting it - if you can avoid it. Opie has to do this right now, but it is the source of many problems. Also, the Opie plugin uses FTP and SFTP - we used to use SCP (rather than SFTP) but many versions of SCP do not reliably return an error when the file is not transferred correctly. This is a serious problem, so we ditched SCP and went with SFTP. Feel free to discuss issues with us here on this list or in #multisync on irc.freenode.net. Tom On Fri, 2003-10-10 at 14:24, Thomas J.
