I've tried to work with the at least one of the two before. I think it was eGroupware, because at some point I was actively testing against it (see syncevolution.org compatibility page). None of developers at that time ever replied to my emails. Trying to support a server where the developers are either completely uninterested or have left the project is a waste of time, so I stopped testing against eGroupware. Do you think the situation is different today? Are you sure that both Horde and eGroupware have their own SyncML implementation? I think that at some point at least one if the suites switched to Funambol. We'd still have to test against that, because even if the engine is the same, the data handling is likely to be very different from myFunambol.com Finally, is either of these suites really easy to install? Our own plan to simplify the situation for casual users is to implement the SyncML server role ourselves. This would be without web interface, but could be made to run on a shared server without installation, without root access, just via ssh. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ SyncEvolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution
