It has already been decided that libopensync is a sync engine tying 
format and connection plugins together. Other projects are free to
implement upper layers and utilize libopensync as such engine.

Go to http://www.ohloh.net/ and compare opensync with for example Apache.
This is not a small project and community/manpower to develop is way
much smaller than other similar sized projects. 

Hopefully that will change somewhat once we have more polished product.

Not sure. I do know that there are projects that somewhat overlap with this, implementing 
their own sync engine and GUI, all those hw detection layers etc. 
But imo it's good to have stuff in smaller chunks and keep simple 
interfaces between those.
