Horde application synchronisation

SyncML howto ?

Hey there,

after going through the horde site, the horde.org/sync section and the 
archives it appears this is strangely lacking 

After starting off with the idea of wanting to simply sync my phonebook 
with my server (Sony z600 phone) and then finding sync4j, then the Boheme 
SyncML php script I stumbled across the horde syncml project.

Then upgraded to Horde 3.0 and found it had the syncml stuff incorporated 
into it yet no documentation as to how to get things working past an 
e-mail around 12 months back saying "read the source in teh cvs tree" or 
something to that effect.

Is there any howto's out there and if not I believe there is a need for 
something that gives basic instructions as to how to set this stuff up 
from an end user point of view.

If someone can help me with some initial pointers (reading the entire 
horde cvs tree is not really a useful option) then I'd be willing to see 
if i can throw together some basic howto's..

just in case you haven't found it yet: there's some minimal 
documentation in SyncML\docs

This is not present because the syncing support is not yet *ready* for end
users. We're working on it; some of the core developers were focusing on the
releases lately, not syncing, but now that 3.0 is out hopefully syncing is one
of the things we can focus on again. So right now you kind of need to be a
developer, or at the least willing to do basic debugging, to use it. If you're
willing to do that, then by all means let us know and we'll try to get you
started. And if you want to start some docs while you do it, that'd be even
better.
