Re: [Opensync-devel] akonadi-sync (discussion)

Daniel,

could you please, give me your opinion on this subject. Or may be you know someone in the opensync team who can answer

The problem is (briefly) if you define different types of resources in akonadi, these would be also discovered in the discover stage, but the calendar is a container for event, note (journal) and todo. I can discover them too, but at which level should I do the filtering and how should I design the plugin.

The plugin (in it's original design by Volker Krause) retrieves all the items from an url i.e. akonadi:?collection=2 and this is reported for all the calendar sub entries. So if I try to retrieve the journal it would report also the rest.

I don't want to take a design decisions on my own as I don't have much experience with opensync and that much time to code experiments.

Thanks in advance
