Hi Jiten,
and sorry for this afternoon, As said I just went back from a 2 days trip and 
I was working (konversation autostarted).

About the "sync" code.
I think you can start reading code on git. I hope you have a bit confidence 
with git; if not you need absolutely to try playing a bit with it before 
starting contributing to a "shared" project.
Code is in rekonq remote repository, "SyncRebased3" branch. Hope you won't 
have problem with this terminology, If so, don't worry. Just step in IRC 
channel. I'm there usually on afternoon and late evenings (UTC time).
Or ask someone else.

Code to sync is 80~90% ready. I'm just not completely satisfied with initial 
settings. I will work on it during this week and I hope I can merge it to 
master on the weekend. You can start studying that base and easily try to add 
another "syncer", let's say Firefox Sync or whatever you want.
As usual, if you need help --> IRC. If you need hints --> Google, if you think 
you are ready --> ReviewBoard.

I think this is enough for you to start. Have fun! And see you in IRC!
