This page is about the various efforts to bring SyncML to KDE via Akonadi. The Wikipedia article also contains a lot of useful links at the end.

Dinesh: Bringing SyncML support to Akonadi for KDE
Ravi: Develop SyncEvolution GUI frontend for KDE
A SyncML Agent for Akonadi was developed last year.
It uses the Funambol C++ Client SDK as the SyncML backend and implements a client and a server agent, the latter being mostly a WIP. The former is able to sync contacts, tasks and appointments as reliable as Funambol allows it.
The code is to be found in playground/pim/syncml. Someone also stepped up saying he improved it further, but hasn't send a patch yet.
Akunambol is the glue between Akonadi and Funambol. Since funambol bases on SyncML, akunambol can also sync to other Servers like for example Horde.
Akunambol uses the funambol-client-sdk for the SyncML part.
Currently only contacts can be synced. Calendar support has been started.
On the KDE side there is a small standalone sync application and a KCModule allowing to configure sync servers and autosync schedules. The autosync is done by a KDED module.
Source can be found on http://gitorious.org/akunambol
The first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, 2nd of May, 17:00 UTC (19:00 CET). We will use #akonadi-syncml on Freenode.
