Oh not to worry, You can directly ask me any questions you have @ saidinesh5
on #akonadi-syncml on freenode anytime. And as far as trying the software
out, I suggest You wait atleast till i put up the instructions on whats
what. Otherwise it would be *A LOT*  of homework. Just a day ago,  I have
explained all the important stuff to a fellow developer (Sivan..... here???)
So expect a blog post really soon :)

All the KDE Specific fields are actually VCard's private extensions (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard). Adding support for them in
syncevolution shouldn't be much of a work. Once done, if the other device
doesnt support these extensions, they will be preserved during the sync.
