[Evolution] Re: Synching Evolution

[Andrew Greig <algreig bigpond net au>]

Hi Craig and Paul,

Thanks for the link.  I have tried all of these rules and permissions 
additions in /etc/udev, but I am still unable to sync Evolution.  
Pilot-xfer works OK and JPilot is stunning - as they were before the 
additions.

Novell, Suse, Ximian are really business centric, and I am impressed 
with the forward thrust of their enterprise, and with their commitment 
to excellence, but for all of that to be hijacked by a small thing like 
Pilot Synchronisation, is amazing.  It may be considered a small thing 
by the execs, but tell that to a Road Warrior who lives off his Pilot, 
and duck for cover.  Synchronisation should be a minor event, it should 
"just work" every time.  Wondering "Shall I end up with duplicates, 
again?" or "Hope it works" are not business thoughts.  Multisync, has I 
am told made some progress with PocketPC and Opie/Zaurus, but I have 
found it hard to compile, so I am glad I do not have an iPaq or a Zaurus 
at the moment.

Business users are becoming increasingly mobile, and data 
synchronisation is a must.  So the question remains, what does JPilot 
have, that Evolution-Pilot does not?  And how soon can we get it?
