OpenSync is a synchronization framework that is platform and distribution independent.
It consists of several plugins that can be used to connect to devices, a powerful sync-engine and the framework itself.
The synchronization framework is kept very flexible and is capable of synchronizing any type of data, including contacts, calendar, tasks, notes and files.
Information about OpenSync
The goals of OpenSync are:
* Provide a framework that can be used for general synchronization
* Reusability. The framework should be usable by many applications
* Speed. Synchronization should be as fast as possible.
* Flexibility. We cannot predict what formats / devices the future will bring. Therefore OpenSync is built as flexible and modular as possible.
* Integrity. Data must never be lost, no matter what happens.
* Portability. The framework should run on as many platforms as possible (Linux, Windows, Mac OS, BSD, etc)
* Language neutral. OpenSync is extensible in using other languages like python, java and even more.
* No dependencies on a X-server. OpenSync is a library that can be embed into other applications. Therefore it is possible to use GUIs, CLIs or whatever you can imagine.
Who should care about OpenSync?
You should care if
* You are a user who wants to be able to synchronize several
different devices and applications under a variety of platforms
* You are a developer who wants to support a certain device since
OpenSync is designed to be easy to use and flexible
* You are a manufacturer of devices that are in need of synchronization.
By using OpenSync you can synchronize your device to a variety
of other devices and applications by using open source technology.
