live.gnome.org, syncing contacts from evolution?
Mats Taraldsvik
conduit-project.org looks dead now, at least I haven't been able to
access it for some time.
I would like some pointers on what, if anything, is missing from
live.gnome.org/Conduit. I've done my best to make it easy to read and
navigate through.
Feedback on this?
##
When this is done, I'd like to try coding. In particular, I'll need
contact and calendar sync from evolution if I decide to buy the N900.
Am I right to assume that I should do this through evolution's new(?)
dbus interface (if these features does not already exist)?
One should be able to sync contacts between evolution and the im clients
also. Evolution's auto sync against Pidgin is very annoying, as it does
not attempt to merge contacts - perhaps a contact sync through conduit
could be used for this as well?
If this is impossible or very hard to do, I'd be happy to start
contributing in other areas if someone could point me towards them.

Yeah, I have been having some difficulty with my server, where I host
the website. I am nearly out of disk space and it keeps going down.

Yeah, I took a look a few weeks ago, and was just waiting for an OK
from you that you thought you had finished moving most of the content
over.
For it to be complete I would like to retain some of the structure, at
least so I can write a simple apache redirect rule that will handle
the most common pages. For example
http://www.conduit-project.org/wiki/Goals -> http://live.gnome.org/Conduit/Goals
http://www.conduit-project.org/wiki/Development ->
http://live.gnome.org/Conduit/Development
The first one works, the second one does not. Basically It would be
really great if http://www.conduit-project.org/wiki/PageName was moved
to http://live.gnome.org/Conduit/PageName in the vast majority of
cases. I acknowledge that there is some additional docs on the lgo
wiki that are not present on the conduit-project.org (the user docs),
so they can stay where they are.
I would also suggest making the landing page a bit simpler, like
http://live.gnome.org/Nautilus
But with release information.

No, it should still use evolution-data-server, and the python
evolution bindings in gnome-python-extras. libecal and friends are
still the recommended way to access evolution data. This should not
need any changes to Conduit, only testing and bug fixing.

I do not use pidgin, but you are welcome to write a dataprovider for this.

The main thing at the moment is controlling the number of bugs, in
particular file sync. This requires writing tests, and then confirming
the bug, then fixing it. I know Jc2k was working on a new test
infrastructure, but I do not know if he finished it.
I have been busy with my PhD lately, and have not had much free time.
I would also like someone to volunteer as release manager, as any time
I have I would like to spend hacking, and not management overhead.
As an aside, I would like someone to look at all the scripts people
use to generate ChangeLog from git commit messages, and hack one into
the build system.

Actually, I just went a fixed a whole bunch of these myself, by
renaming some pages you have created. I would appreciate it if you
could have a look over the old website, and check that I renamed the
pages correctly so they follow the rules above.
Once I hear from you that it looks OK, I will flip the redirect switch!
Cheers, and thanks for all your help!

I think the "home" page of the wiki should contain more information, as
I hate complicated hierarchies.
However, I completely understand that you want the transition to be as
easy as possible. :)

bunch. Here is the current status :

I could help out with bugs/writing tests, although I'd need help to get
started. ( That is, if/when the test infrastructure is finished ).

Excellent work. I had one final check and I just flipped the apache
switch so 301 permanent redirects are in place now.

It seemed a little wasful to upload it to the GNOME servers,
especially as it is such an old version. I really should prepare a new
screencast and upload it to Youtube.

Agree. Thanks for your great work. Now with this yak shaving excercise
completed, I might get back to hacking :-)
