There are some PDA products (well, PDA platforms) with significant market share and we could target one or two popular ones to get started. Writing something for a platform specific service could also be an option. A quick search on SyncML showed that there are 14 projects on sourceforge.net that mention it. Google search gives many more. Brian Skinner did some research on SyncML for OSAF a couple of years ago: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/SyncML I bet the situation has changed a lot since then. > I didn't see ACL's in the infrastructure tenet.

I think it should be a conditional item: if Cosmo is going to get ACL in time for Chandler 0.7 I think we should invest in it in Chandler as well. I have an ACL library in Zanshin where the implementation is maybe 80% complete of what I think we would need for 0.7, which IMO basically means an API that semi-automatically translates a standard ACL to server-customized ACL and vice versa. -- Heikki Toivonen
