Re: [Evolution-hackers] Want to post bounty for SyncML plugin (to use with eGroupware)

[Daniel Bo <daengbo gmail com>]

Patrick,

This is awesome. Thank you so much for the work.

About the link -- eGroupware changed the website about two days after I
posted my email. I knew about it, but couldn't change the original
message, obviously. I didn't think there was any real interest in doing
this, so I didn't bother to send an update to the list.

I'll post my bounty to turn your work into a plugin so that people can
simply fill in a few check boxes and make it happen. Right now it is
possible to do with MultiSync, but you obviously know that is a
less-than-optimal solution since you wrote SyncEvolution.

Again, thanks for the beautiful work,

Dan
