I used Ryan's guide to get get sync to work between GPE (n800) and KDE PIM (kubuntu 7.04). It was not problem at all - just some slight tweaking to use KDE PIM instead of Evolution.

New OSSO category suggestion - Appointments
Hi, I am no maemo developer, but I have a suggestion for all the developers of the different PIM-alternatives out there. Wouldn't it be appropriate to introduce a new OSSO category for appointments? I would love to see global search to be able to search within appointments, and I realize that even though a new category is introduced global search will not magically work with that category, but at least it indicates that there is a new kind of data on my N800/770. On the subject of global search, what is missing in order to implement searching in "appointment" data? I've tried searching for an API but I cannot seem to find any, is not published?

It makes big difference for me on my desktop keyboard. The alphasmart is a portable full-soze keyboard -- though it won't fit in your shirt pocket. It's quite rugged, it's self-powered (with three AA batteries that tend to last nine months or so), it can be used on its own -- then you type and edit into memory, and when plugged into a computer, it acts as a USB keyboard. And it you press 'send' on it, it will type in everything you typed into it before. It's a dream for first-draft writing. The only problem is that the 770 and 800 seem not to accept USB keyboards, so I can't use it with them. -- hendrik ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I'm going to create garage project to maintain it. What's more you often want the server and client on different machines, which may have different hardware and different operating systems. So neither system will need both server and client. And standard security protocols insist that you only run the servers you need on the machines where you need them. -- hendrik ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

It's in section net, not user/net as I can see. So it's not visible and installable from AM, right?

Server depends on client anyway, so it's impossible to install just server. I think it's not bad at all to have them splitted, no?
