I recently picked up the ancient bbdb-syncml[1] to see if it can be fixed to work reliably. I adjusted it to use bbdb-vcard[2], and fixed some minor issues. Currently a slow sync into an empty syncevolution is working, sync with changes in syncevolution fails because bbdb-vcard currently does not provide a way to to insert records the way I need it -- getting this working shouldn't be a big change, though. In case anybody wants to take a look, it's hosted at gitorious: https://gitorious.org/bbdb-syncml/bbdb-syncml Bernd Footnotes: [1] http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/bbdb-syncml [2] https://github.com/trebb/bbdb-vcard
