Is anything else supposed to be working ? I'm interested in the SyncML part and also in the LDAP part.

The right person to answer this question is actually Armin himself, but
I think he is on vacation at the moment so I try to answer your
questions in his place. Anyone please correct me if I am completely
wrong.

First thing you could do (if you have not already done that) is to read
the docs/Multisync.pdf which gives a good description of the design.
What you could expect at this point is a (kind of) working framework and
a proof of concept of the design. There are still much to do before it
can be released. For example:

- Syncing syncgroups is not implemented
- Many plugins are not implemented yet (IRMC, SyncML, etc)
- ...

The syncengine should be stress tested a little more and before all
plugins can be implemented the API must be completely accepted. Major
API-changes makes it difficult to develop the plugins.

Hope you got some questions answered, but as I stated, the best answers
to your questions can Armin give when he is back.
