I _could_ live with two-way sync. That is not a shopstopper.

In that case I will look into KDE-PIM in KDE 4.1 and see if it is in a
usable state (it was not the last time I tried).

Is 0.38 considered reliable for everyday use? I understand that 0.22
was buggy but I prefer buggy to dataloss. The wiki states that the
0.3x branch is for developers, which I am not.

Sounds possible, but expect to see my whimpering with my tail between
my legs when I get stuck. I'm an engineer, not a software developer!

Those do not seem to be showstoppers, either.

I would like to help test trunk, but the last time that I tried to
install it was a two-day affair and did not end in success.

Currently I am using Kubuntu as Fedora >=6 would not install on my
Dell Inspiron. I do _not_ like OpenSuse (too many KDE mods), though if
it makes like easier I would have no problem giving Mandriva a whirl.
