GPE syncing

Hi all,

since we had a short discussion about syncing recently, let me point
you to http://handhelds.org/z/wiki/GpeSync, where I just found the
following:

| I'm currently working for the Zaurus dev challenge on a complete
| SyncML synchronization framework. The only thing it assume between
| the client (GPE ipaq in this case) and the server is a TCP/IP
| connection. For the beginning of october we'll got a complete
| addressbook OPIE<->Host. It'll be easy to adapt it to GPE and extend
| it. It would be great to avoid code duplication, please contact me
| or extend this page to talk about it. Using a standard SyncML we'll
| allow the iPAQ to be synchronized with all the existing servers. I
| think what's really important to do right now in GPE (maybe it's
| already done, I don't know) is to keep a changelog of the
| modifications. At least mark which entries have changed. But if
| you've got a built-in complete changelog, it can allow a real quick
| synchronizatin.

This really sounds interesting. Christian, are you reading the GPE
mailing list by chance? (http://handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/gpe)

Cheers,
