Hi Armin
First of all, thanks for your quick response, and from the developer too. I have
taken a look at www.opensync.org as you suggested, but I still have some more
questions.
I read that MultiSync 0.9x will become the GUI to OpenSync. Does this mean
MultiSync 0.9x will only be completed when OpenSync is completed?
Yes thats correct. since the complete syncing logic of multisync 0.9x is
in opensync, multisync itself wont be terribly useful alone
The OpenSync version numbers (0.17) give the impression OpenSync could be years
away especially when it took x years for MultiSync to reach 0.8x. MultiSync 0.9x
requires OpenSync, but the version numbers aren't in sync (sorry about the joke,
I couldn't resist the pun). The fact that there is no SyncML plug-in in the
download section only adds to my concerns. How far away is OpenSync/SyncML
plug-in from completion? Can I help test to speed up the beta completion?
opensync itself (the synchronization framework) is pretty much stable.
Now the most important thing missing is the syncml plugin. You can take
a look at the latest version here: svn.opensync.org/libsyncml
The version numbers themself dont have to be in sync since they dont
have any concrete meaning (0.17 just means that i already made 17
releases :)

I would like to use Multisync to synchronise my data between Evolution
and my Nokia 9210. Evolution uses the Evolution plug-in, while my Nokia
uses the SyncML plug-in. Unfortunately, there is a reported bug (more
like a showstopper to me) in the SyncML plug-in for MultiSync 0.8.2,
which after synchronisation, duplicates the entries in Evolution while the
Nokia entries are correct.
If it is going to be years before MultiSync/OpenSync reaches completion, is
there any chance of a patch for the duplication error above in the 0.8x branch?
uhh... i guess not. the problem with the old multisync that it is almost
impossible to maintain and to fix bugs (after all thats why i started a
new sync engine :)

Is there an alternative to Multisync which is just as mature and works
for Gnome/Evolution2/SyncML(Nokia 9210)?
I do not wish to seem unappreciative of your work. I am just looking for a
solution to my problem. In fact, reading your white paper, I just wish more
developers were as considerate as you to develop a cross-platform, multi-distro
product, with a CL interface to ensure GUI independence. I guess, in time, there
will be a "MuliKync" GUI for KDE?
Yes it looks like there might be such a thing. we are currently in
discussion with the kde developers about an adoption of opensync.
I look forward to your comments.
Kind Regards
John
