Hi! I just released Akunambol 0.1, a KDE application to sync your Akonadi data with a SyncML server. You want to use Akunambol to have a full backup of your contacts and calendar, and why not, synchronize and share your address book (and calendar) between your mobile, your iPod touch, your Google account and your KDE desktop. Read more to know how to do that. Akunambol has been built using the Funambol C++ SDK, as part of their code sniper program. I announced it yesterday on their mailing list, but I think that it deserves also a blog post, since it may be of interest for the KDE community. This is the first release aimed at first adapters; however in my testing it resulted to be very stable for the few things it does. There shouldn’t be any data losses, but a backup is as always advised. If you want to check out the code, please beware that it still kills kittens here and there. For now this is a release that works, and I will fix most code issues for 0.3 when I’ll be implementing calendar support, thus abstracting much of the code. Check it out, follow the development, fork, clone and hack on it at: http://gitorious.org/akunambol Or, just download a tarball from http://github.com/ruphy/akunambol/tarball/v0.1 (yes, it’s github, unfortunately gitorious is still implementing on-the-fly tarball generation for a tag ) More
