Of course others may disagree... > IMSP doesn't seem to be very actively supported any more. And none of our users use Mulberry (they use OE, Mutt, Pine, Mozilla, and KMail) so Mulberry support isn't particularly helpful in our case. So I don't see a particularly good reason for us to use IMSP, since we're clearly going to write our own client sync software for WAB, Mozilla, etc anyway... I think I'll write a daemon that provides a replication API to an arbitrary database table, and a client that has a plug-in architecture to allow a mapping between any client data structure of query API, and the server's daemon protocol. That way I can sync favourites/bookmarks, contact, etc just by writing plugins. If anyone knows of anything that already does this, or is interested in helping out, let me know.
