actually i think the e71 is our libsyncml s60 dedicated 
test device, so yes in that area we're in good shape.

Well, usb is quite easy to get working as you don't need to pair it.
bt is probably more used/tested. There should be instructions below
that docs/0.2x tree, find them from titleIndex. Yep, there are quite
a lot pages, i know :-/

Yes, e71/s60 has its own backuptoo inside.

you could start from file-sync plugin, that needs just empty dir.

that should be up to date in wiki. You just need to repeat every 
step for each plugin. 

  http://opensync.org/wiki/docs/trunk


note that it will install to /usr/local which is not under package control
and you need to remove it manually in case you want to get rid of it.

Read existing trunk docs, comment them and we make them better. that's
already a huge help.
