What about the procedure for configuring the synchronization software for e-mail & contacts (like opensync).
As a new user, now that my device communicates with my PC, I'm still a little confused about what's involved to perform the syncronisation with my mail program. I realize this is outside the scope of the synce project, but the documentation should list the programs that can use synce for syncing and provide links their respective project websites. Maybe the different sync tools would be mentioned under "Syncing your device"? I do agree that the site should have instructions for installing synce in the major distros (Gentoo, Debian/Ubuntu, RedHat/CentOS). ~Paul BTW, synce.org is working again for me.
