Is OggSync still under development ?

[aurelieng]

Hi all,

I've been syncing my Kaiser with Google Calendar using Oggsync during the last two years, without any problem. I noticed on their website (here (http://oggsync.com/)) that the next stable version (Oggsync 4) will be able to synchronize contacts. Unfortunately, their is no activity on their website since last november. Even the RSS feed seems to be dead.

Do you know what's happening ?

Aurélien.

Hi Aurélien,

I don't know if it's still in active development, but I call tell you I've been using Google Sync (from Google) recently and it works very well. It also syncs contacts.

This seems to do the same thing as OggSync, so maybe the OggSync developers have given up on it?

Well, the good point with OggSync is that it can handle several calendars. AFAIK, Google Sync cannot. But maybe I'm wrong ?

You're right. Google Sync, currently, does not support multiple calendars. I also use Oggsync and sync my contacts. You need the Pro version, though, which you have to pay for.

OK, I recieved a mail from oggsync@oggsync.com. It's still under development, see below.


We don't feel comfortable calling it stable until Google has firmed up their contact API a bit. It's still changing monthly. We are planning to roll in support for the just latest changes into the next major release (birthdays/etc.)

thanks for the info aurelieng. i just wish they could update their website a little bit. instead, it just looks abandoned.

I just noticed that OggSync 4.21 for windows mobile is available. The pro version now allows syncing contacts :) (not tried yet, but certainly useful).
