It took me a while to get into the probiz theory.

I have been discussing the concepts with probiz for around 3months. 
This is a better implementation of the theory on docs.phpgroupware.org

Yep ... and sync4j works :)

This is a lot broader than that.

We have working xmlrpc too.  We don't need to take anything from EGO. 
This is a phpgw project.

Probiz has done a great job with developing the concept and have already
started developing it.

When I met with them yesterday.  It is clear that this work will be done
by probiz.  At the same time, the more hands on board the sooner it is
done.  The design is very modular and well documented.  If people jump
on board we will acheive the dream of sync in phpgw.  Not just palm, but
syncing with just about anything - even jengo's xmlrpc enabled toaster ;)
