Currently The Syncevolution GUI for KDE basically comprises of a KCM(
which even appears in the SystemSettings ) To Configure various
accounts and devices, A Bluedevil Plugin (to pair up with the new
syncml capable phones), A System Tray Application (To Quickly Start
and Stop Syncs if needed and to notify about the newly added devices).

Here is how the KCM currently looks (and works),

When the Project started, we hadn't considered how the ActiveSync
Plugin so the GSoC part is for SyncML peers only.
But I hope to keep the GUI same even for the ActiveSync part... (this
could be a bit tricky to implement though) Will post more updates once
I get my hands on the activesync backend :)


Cheers,
Dinesh
