What did you expect?  Armin hasn't worked on opensync for at least three
years.

I expect that someone answers our questions. I expect also that someone works on the code. I now understand why it sucks all those years and why I'm not able to sync without issues

I also expect you to remove the names (emails) of the people who have not been working more then a year or that do not answer mails. Also update the wiki page etc

I expect that someone cleans up the mess and boosts development. We jumped in because it said there is need but it seems that the core engine is broken and no one is working on it.


Michael has posted to this list last month, why didn't you use that
address?

Why ain't your reading the dev/user list ... why should we write to someone in person and why do I feel accused by you?

I expect that someone ansers to the user or dev group questions.


He seems to be willing to apply patches when people send them, but
probably doesn't have enough time currently to further development
himself.
Well probably I don't have the time either.

The support and documentation are really miserable. I expect you to improve it.

Don't be upset for what we are writing. Come up with solutions and answers that's what I expect. 

I put many questions and no one answered. This is unacceptable. How can I make a patch this way.

Finally what do you expect from us? I'm not willing to reverse engineer the code someone has written and not fully documented. Also I did not like the syncml code - it looks ugly and it does not work. Someone has to fix it. ACtually this is all we need at the moment SOMEONE FIX THE SYNCML PLUGIN.
