yes. I think there is big interest in the community to get it done.

svn co http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdepim/runtime/opensync
svn: Repository moved permanently to '/trunk/KDE/kdepim/runtime/opensync/'; please relocate

So could you give me a hint how to get the code in an easy way?

Had a look sounds clear, I'll check if useful. I need to get the code and get an impression in what needs to be done.

Actually I'm still using kde 3.5 but I'm in the process of testing kde 4.4 and migrating custom software that I'm using for business. The deadline is by the end of September to get a working env on the desktop/notebook. and maybe in few weeks I'll have a server with kde4.4. So probably in 2 weeks I'll be ready to start. Until then evaluating.

http://pim.kde.org/akonadi seem to be a good starting point

Thanks I'll have look around, set up an environment and come to you later.

Your current e-mail was very helpful as I need guidance where to start. May be akonadi is a good point and task.
