The OpenSync project is an ongoing effort to create a synchronization framework
|
|
that will be a platform independent, general purpose synchronization engine
|
|
utilizing modular plugins for content formats and different kind of connection
|
|
types. OpenSync's modularity should allow it to be extended easily to new
|
|
devices and purposes without radically changing the architecture itself,
|
|
allowing it to support wide variety of devices used today and in the future.
|
|
|
|
Even being a general purpose framework that keeps the doors open for many use
|
|
cases, OpenSync's main and most practical goal is to create a solution to
|
|
synchronize PIM (Personal Information Management - addressbook contacts,
|
|
calendar events and tasks, personal notes, etc) data between mobile devices like
|
|
mobile phones, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant), desktop computer PIM tools and
|
|
-services.
|
|
|
|
OpenSync is a successor of project Multisync, created by the same people.
|
|
Multisync's development stalled and it is no longer maintained, so users using
|
|
it should look to upgrade to OpenSync when possible. The combined project
|
|
history of these projects is long and currently the future looks bright for
|
|
achieving the original goals.
