cool. what desktop organizer would be of more interest? i am still going
back and forth between KDE and GNOME, so i use both Korganizer and
Evolution.

It will be very slow going, as i'm just doing this in the three minutes
a week of spare time that i have, and it's been years since i've written
any code of more than a couple-hundred lines. But ethersync would rock,
and that's my motivation. that, and giving back to both the Newton and
Linux communities, to which i owe so much.
