Re: The Community

OK, I'm in the same camp. I'm pretty happy with Opie in general but it has
been years since I had my Linux desktop (KDE) syncing with it.

A few years back I setup my system for OpenEmbedded/BitBake development and
made a bunch of packages. Those skills are a little rusty now, but if the
development environment is in a reasonable state I'm willing to do some
testing and perhaps even some patching to get syncing functional again.

I'm running a current FedoraCore system with a KDE desktop. The released
version of Familiar and a lot of contact information stored on my PDA and
nothing stored on the desktop.

I have written in most languages, have DB skills and have written apps using
SQLite2 and 3. Hopefully that is what Opie is using now?

I'm ready to try again. Where should I start?

Versions needed on both sides and how to get them would be great.

If there is an overview link for the part you would like help with please
include that as well. I would like to see how it's all tied together, and
what languages are used.
