Hello,
First of all sorry for the intrusion, but I think this may be of interest for some of you.
SynCE project's ambitious goal is to provide a mean of synchronising handhelds devices with a (desktop) computer.
By handheld, we mean any portable / embedded / PDA.... device, that needs to synchronize its data with a less mobile computer. (An exemple would be any PDA/PocketPC running Windows CE, or any PDA running Linux, etc...)
The first step of this project is to provide a full (client & server) implementation of Microsoft's RAPI protocol, which is the low-level protocol used in ActiveSync synchronisation. This will allow, when completed : - a Windows CE device to communicate with any (non-Microsoft) computer, - A Linux device to communicate with a Microsoft computer and benefits from the existing tools, - etc, etc...
The second step will be to provide a set of tools to synchronize data with 'standard' open or closed source application : Mozilla, KMail, etc....
Right now, the project is in its early, early stages ( we don't even have an alpha release ! ), but yet there are some bits that allow an implementation of the client part of the RAPI protocol, to query informations (registry, filesystem, databases,...) from a WindowsCE device. One tool (DBBackup) allows a full dump of the databases of the device.
I won't interfere more with the list, and I invite all people interested to have a look on the project page ( http://www.sourceforge.net/projetcs/synce & http://synce.sourceforge.net ) and to subscribe to the mailing-list. We currently are looking for developper, and for testers having mobile devices still under Windows CE (PDA, PocketPC, etc...) and an unix-like desktop environment.
Best regards,
Ludovic LANGE
You might want to checkout Agenda Desktop, and VRSync. Agenda Desktop is a synchronization tool developed by the Agenda community of developers, and VRSync is a syncronization tool developed by internal Agenda people. Both are pretty good synchronization tools for the Agenda, and it would be nice if there was some interoperation between these two communities.
Thanks, Shane Nay.
