Personal issues

*) That guy 'bellmich' - I think is Michael-  has pending tickets for more then 8 months now that are not assessed. There has been no activity on the libsyncml code since a long time and the code is not working

*) No one is answering our questions in the dev list.
how are we supposed to help development if no docs and infos are provided.


The code issues

*) libsyncml is not working for Calendar (snycml v1.2) and 
*) libopensync is not working for Contacts (seems that there are no issues with parsing the xml provided by syncml)

tickets on libsyncml side

The syncml is definitely unstable and even worse than libopensync itself and tehn I've expected. We need rapid improvement here as nokia phones will probably fail syncing. I have 5530 with recent OS updated, but the issue is trivial - I guess may be change some xsd will fix it.

In opensync I have problem understanding ref/unref changes in akonadi-sync ... and no one answered what needs to be done and why other plugins have different implementation

I don't want to waste your time - I just need hints of people that know the api, so that I don't reinvent the wheel and spend time working on solving the issues then analysing and hacking the api.

It would be great if you let us focus on syncml together, so that I may (help to) debug and get some satisfying results before christmas this year.

For now akonadi-sync is doing really fine, so what I need is just to get the data out of the phone and even this is possible, but it gets stuck in libsyncml or libopensync.

thanks in advance and regards
