OpenSync, SyncEvolution, GNOMEPilot, Conduits, [etc]. Part of these arent fully there. Your project looks to me like an another new project in that direction. New project is good, but its better to look at existing frameworks and see how you can fill the gaps to make it the best. I would suggest to read about these, ping those individual maintainers on the details and propose a solution, that would be widely accepted.

[Evolution-hackers] Own project / idea for Google summer of code 2009
Hello, I would like to discuss my own project / idea for Google summer of code 2009 and if you are interested in, then I would like to find a potential mentor for this project. I am a daily user of GNOME desktop environment and I am missing useful, user-friendly synchronization support with the possibility of broader settings between Evolution (Calendar, phonebook etc.) and mobile devices (Nokia hand phones and so on) via bluetooth. I will introduce a plug-in for Evolution which can easily prepare the mobile device for synchronization, and which let the user set up a variety of synchronization settings and in really user-friendly way synchronizes all the required data in both directions. According to the format disclosure at http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2009/Ideas: *Evolution: Synchronization with mobile devices via bluetooth* - *Benefits:* Better, user-friendly, competitive synchronization ability with broader settings between Evolution (calendar, phonebook, etc.) and mobile devices. - *Requirements:* C programming knowledge, GObject-system knowledge, knowledge of plug-in writing for evolution - *Description:* Write a plug-in, which will provide a synchronization ability between evolution (calendar, phonebook) and mobile devices in both directions. The plug-in should be user-friedly with the possibility of broader settings and should support as many mobile devices as possible. With best regards, Pavol Srna. ___ Evolution-hackers mailing list Evolution-hackers@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
