I have not yet planned to integrate tasks support in PISI - however, the modular approach would easily allow for that. For myself, this is not really a high priority thing - but, if more people are requesting that feature, I would be fine with supporting it (for the beginning, I filed a feature request on the projects page). > > 2) Long contact names.

I thought about a fix of having some temporary mapping file somewhere in the file system, which can do the translation between full names and shortened names. But then I had in mind this opimd thing as well - which will overcome all these problems. It is again a think of proirities - pretty much depends on the timeline of opimd - as I count the time we have to wait for opimd dialer in days and weeks (rather than in months) I am not too motivated to spend too much time on that issue. > > 3) Are you planning to solve the problem with e-calendar-factory > needing a restart?

And would that solve the restart > issue? I have never looked deeply into this backend process - but sure, you are right about 'doing it the proper way'. The nice thing about the current solution is, that I could simply use our existing ICalendar support - by applying one additional configuration section we had DATES support. What do you think about this: Fow short term solution, I could add a flag in the configuration file, where the user can configure whether to restart the backend process automatically after sync. That wouldn't be too much efforts - and it would do the job (not nice, but it would do the job) ... One last thing - when talking about so many things, which are not of high priority for me - let me at least mention, what are the next steps in my eyes - I would really appreciate a discussion on that. * There is a couple of bugs I really have to address soon. * The next feature I am aiming for is SyncML supporrt - this is the 'standard' used in propriety mobiles - and (with some plugins) allows for synchronization with desktop applicatins (e.g. http://www.topologilinux.com/syncml/index.php?menu=1 or funambol) Michael > > Cheers, Edwin > > On Sun, Aug 9, 2009 at 6:58 PM, Michael Pilgermann<kichka...@gmx.de> > wrote: > > We just released PISI 0.4. > > > > The major enhancement this time is opimd support for contacts. > > > > Supported Contacts data sources: > > - SIM via DBUS (e.g. SHR) > > - QTopia address book (e.g. OM 2008.12) > > - LDAP (read only) > > - VCF files (local / webdav) > > - Google contacts > > - OPIMD > > > > Supported Calendar data sources: > > - Google calendars > > - ICalendar files (local / webdav) > > > > Get your copy here: > > http://www.opkg.org/package_191.html > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Openmoko community mailing list > > community@lists.openmoko.org > > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > > > > _______________________________________________ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
