I'm up for that. I'll wipe my vista partition at the weekend.

Don't panic!
What Dave is talking about (I hope) is that the kde3.5.9 (opensync-0.2x)
kitchensync is already included in the openSUSE 11.0 official repos,
which I am well aware of (and I think I mentioned in my message above).
Msynctool 0.22 is also available.
Anyway, openSUSE and the OBS is very flexible. Even if I did decide to
include kitchensync in the SynCE repo, I could simply link the package
to the sources in the official repository, there would be no duplication
of effort.
And don't worry about anyone "rejecting" the packages - it is an ongoing
process, not a final yes/no decision. Even if they aren't included on
the 11.2 DVD, there is no reason why they can't be available on the OSS
repo or as an additional repo on the Build Service as they are now.
The decision as to whether the rpms are going to get integrated into the
official repositories is still a long way off as we are not in time for
the 11.1 release (wasn't aiming to be), meaning we would have to wait
for 11.2 - next year.

What we could use right now is some testers and collaborators on the
project. I made some nice icons for the one-click metapackages which I
will upload to the openSUSE wiki when I update the SynCE page. When that
happens I will also post an announcement on the synce-users list.
