Hello! I would like to synchronize my Emacs-PIM-data (which means bbdb, diary and planner) with my mobile phone (Sony Ericsson K700i). Except for bbdb [1] [2], this should be a blank field, so I like to have your opinion.
IMHO the best approach is to write an Emacs plugin for OpenSync [3] (formerly MultySync [4]). In this way, Emacs can synchronize not only with SyncML servers (like for the bbdb-syncml project), but also with other programs/device via the different OpenSync plugin (and I think about Evolution, IrMC devices or Palm). This process should involve: - parsing of the bbdb entries to vCard (functions are already present in bbdb-syncml) - parsing of the diary/todo entries to iCalendar (icalendar.el in GNU Emacs CVS or *old version* [5]) - parsing of the planner entries to iCalendar (planner-icalendar.el, to be coded) [this should skips entries already present in diary/todo, in order to avoid entry duplication] I haven't read the OpenSync documentation yet, but I guess the process should be structured in the following steps: - Emacs prepares the data, i.e. exports data to vCard/iCalendar tmp files - OpenSync synchronizes the exported files (via the Emacs plugin and asking for duplicates/conflicts) - Emacs imports the synchronized files (without asking for duplicates/conflicts, to assuming always 'replace with new') Suggestions? Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca PS, the OpenSync site seems down, but yesterday it worked without any problem, so it should be up again soon.
