Yes we should absolutely use the jpilot work to aid development of the
gnome-pilot conduits, but it sounds as though there is a fair bit of
additional work on the Evolution side.  We just haven't had the
resources.  I'm hopeful that I'll be able to spend some time on the
conduits over the next 6 months to address the top requested items:
birthdays, photos, corrupted addressbook fields, possibly
multiple-calendar sync, etc.  I'll need to get my head into the
Evolution code as I'm not familiar with it at all.

Thanks, that's always nice to hear.
