That is why we are working on this one. ;-)

Not needed so far because we are in the ISP business, too.

So as a subpart of the project section you want to have something like a
project diary?

Please make further suggestions about this.

There are some very special and detailed functions which might only be
neccessary in laboratories - would be great if somebody familiar with
working in such projects would make specifications and -if possible at
all- do the coding part.

PDA sync: Do you mean to im- /export files, contacts, calendar and else?
I guess this will cause lots of trouble if there isn=B4t a similar databa=
se
on the PDA.
