Synchronizing OpenGroupware with your Palm is a pain in the butt. It works, but not well. Reconciling the two bases is very difficult, and simple things like deleting an appointment in the Palm don’t work (the OGo date will be synced back to the Palm).
The more it goes, the more I understand how people put up with the piles of crap Microsoft is publishing: it may be shitty programming, but it works where you need it to (well at least that’s the impression I have from the outside: I haven’t had the opportunity to ever use an Exchange server).
But well, if I manage to get this working half-way decently, Splandigo will soon be equipped with Palm devices (probably the Zire 72, to sync on the move over bluetooth + GPRS).
interesting… I wanna see where that goes. keep me posted.
In the meantime, iCal still doesn t support the categories of meetings that you set up in Palm… and let’s not even talk about using Palm with Firebird etc… I hope the mozilla calendar effort will get somewhere with this but then it will probably not synchronise with Apple Address Book…
Note: if you’re looking for someone who can help you set up an OpenGroupware.org install that allows you to synchronize with your Palm over the network, ask Yann Droneaud, he can do it! Our server works quite decently (if a bit slowly), and while I haven’t managed to make things really user-friendly (the synch system of OpenGroupware is really not all that good), it does work and manages to be useful enough.
