Hi, Again you should remember that that your plugin only has to worry about itself and the sync engine, not any other plugins.

The sync engine talks vCard for addressbook, so you have to supply your changes in that format and you get changes back in that format. Some of the plugins do conversion to/from vCard/[v,i]Cal, for example Opie and LDAP. > > 2) I tried to understand the evolution-plugin, so that I can use the most of > it for my own plugin.

From get_changes() you must return all of the changes that have occurred on your side since the last sync. Either what you are syncing with can tell you this information directly (ideal) or you have to keep track of it yourself. The sync engine takes care of comparison and providing you any add/modify/delete afterward in syncobj_modify() and syncobj_delete().
