</div>About PISI - I am one of the developers there and I am happy to read about all the input for further developments here.<br>
As it looks to me now, there are different options, which probably have different priorities. I have been pretty much busy with the Contacts part of PISI; my brother will now start pushing the Calendar part a bit more (after I will have done some refactoring on this side by the end of this week). First task there for him will be proper ICS support. There is a Python library available for doing all the low level files read / write (which I used sucessfully for VCF files already); so it shouldn't be too much troubles to come up with a proper implementation.</blockquote>
<div><br>Great news ! I think ics support will allow a lot of things <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
For the contacts part, I would need some more input for requested data sources. For now, we support QTopia address book (SQLite, e.g. OM 2008.12), LDAP Server, VCF files and Google Contacts. Awaiting are:<br>
- opimd support<br>
- SIM card support<br>
- SyncML / Opensync support</blockquote><div><br>Synclm (and I suppose Opensync) does not only handle contacts, but all the pim data as calendars, tasks, notes and contacts<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
- Online VCF support (just download / upload the file)<br>
- Pimlico / Evolution<br>
<br>
My impression is, that SyncML / Opensync is my next task. I was searching for some libraries already; and I found two implementations at a very early stage - I will go and test them soon.</blockquote><div><br>I think it is a 'must have' feature if you do not want to re invent the wheel. There are so many different clients for syncml servers (PDA, palm, windows mobile, outlook, thunderbird, webpages, etc.) . Syncml is about to sync both ways.<br>

The Evolution / Pimlico stuff - I thought would be somehow outdated already on the Openmoko!? The upcoming 2009 will be opimd?? Well, last time I looked for it, it had not progressed much behind the initial idea.</blockquote>
<div><br>I think we must let the user choose. This is the power of free softwares. At the moment, opimd does not handle calendar, tasks and notes (I can be wrong) and -no offense to the developpers- we wait for it for quite a long time. If someone has some good news.. On the other side, pimlico already has a calendar and tasks application. I do not think pimlico is outdated but still in early stage.<br>
And opimd is not used by all the distributions. For example, Hackable:1 uses the pimlico suite to handle the contacts.<br><br>I am really glad you and your brother work on this very needed feature for the openmoko ! Thanks a lot<br>

BTW: Has anybody yet tested PISI on a distribution other than OM 2008.12? I always tested on this one ...<br>
