Great!

So here is the requested info:

Short project description:

The OpenSync project aims at creating a standardized synchronization
framework. It is intended to be used by developers working on PIM, eMail
or other applications which need support for synchronization. OpenSync
will provide a standard which defines how sync plugins have to be
written, so that once a plugin is finished it is immediately available
to all applications using this framework. It will also provide a
flexible and modular sync engine for those applications that wish to use
it. The purpose of this framework is to eleminate the need for
developers to reinvent the wheel and enabling the users to choose which
applications fits their need the most and not which supports the most
devices.

The ssh keys for the devs (the are more to follow, but they are busy
with the RLs atm):

Username: abauer
Realname: Armin Bauer
eMail: armin.bauer at desscon.com

Username: lincoln
Realname: Bo Lincoln
eMail: lincoln at lysator.liu.se

I hope everthing is as you requested.

Armin
