I wholeheartedly agree. Heterogeneous interop is one of Mozilla's differentiators versus the Big Silos, and besides, having to reach parity (decent web contact manager, LDAP interfaces, for example) would be costly. (I'd even go so far as to suggest syncing to *multiple* providers as a bigger value-add, but that's a whole other kettle of fish.) _______________________________________________ Sync-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/sync-dev
