What's the "this" here? The Horde syncing project? Not much, yet, but we're
gathering code and momentum as best we can, and it's one of the higher
priorities for a couple of developers.

It'd be interesting to see the Java code, but we want to go to PHP code
eventually, both to integrate with our RPC framework for ease of use
(http://cvs.horde.org/cvs.php/horde/lib/RPC/syncml.php), and, more importantly,
to make use of the Horde object model for interfacing with applications,
instead of trying to write to databases directly.
