Ok, will look into that. My plan is to start thinking/working on the Evolution2 and/or the IrMC plugins; if anybody else is working on those, please let me know so I don't duplicate work. > >Ok, (my) emphasis on all plugins; what do you exactly mean with "fully > >working gui"? > > > i meant this: > "Another thing that should be done is to implement a new gui that takes > advantage of the new > features of opensync (it can display the progress for example, allow > syncgroups etc).
