[Kolab-devel] Kolab connector for Mac OS

[Tyrell Berry]

Thank you for those tips.  However, my biggest concern is syncing my custom
labels.  Somewhere I read that Funambol promises that they will be providing
this functionality at some point in the future, but at this point, it's just
not the solution I'm looking for.

Apple Sync Services looks very powerful, and looks easy to program for.  I
have been spending the last few days reading through the sync services
programming guide, and once I'm done, assuming another solution doesn't
become apparent, I will start working on a connector using it.

So then the question becomes this:  Are there other people on this list that
would benefit from my efforts, and would be willing to help with testing
and/or coding?
