Eh, funny, I just posted yet another thread on talk
(http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33308)

The syncevolution and libsynthesis packages have recently been uploaded
to Debian (I sponsored them) and I would really be interested to be able
to use them on both laptop and n900 (when I have one). So yeah, at one
point I may give a hand for that to happen.

Does the to-be-release 0.9.1 will do the direct sync without third party
syncML servers?

Cheers,
