syncml

[Stefan]

AFAIK Horde is a Web-Gui, but I don't want to use a Web-Client for Kolab.  I'm 
thinking about a server based solution, without any need of a PC.
May be I'm wrong, but with Horde, I need a PC and have to click around in the 
Web-Interface. 
What's about something like that:
1) SyncML is based on HTTP. So take HTTP::Daemon or "kirves" (a web-server 
written in perl). So all communication with the mobile (or other groupware 
servers *HINT* ) ist done.
2) Write the sync engine (that's the hard stuff) and 
3) let it communicate with the kolab daemon (that could be easily done, with 
the help of one of the core kolab developers (they know the interfaces to 
deal with.)

I like the idea, having a complete solution written in ONE programming 
language.

Just my two Euro-Cents
