---- Reported by jingke.zhang@intel.com 2010-04-13 01:40:04 +0000 ---- This issue is from BMO#3311 (http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3311) This is a (perhaps crazy) idea, but let me describe it anyway... Currently the Synthesis engine can convert the internal field lists to plain text, email, SQL databases (via ODBC) and last but not least, MIME based formats. It might also be useful to have an automatic conversion to and from XML, in particular if the database side stores items in XML. The Synthesis engine could use an XML format that is directly derived from the field list. Then XSLT transformations could be used to process and generate that Synthesis format from some other, custom format used by the database. This transformation could be executed by the Synthesis engine itself, which would depend on additional configuration mechanisms to specify the transformation. Alternatively the engine could be configured so that it reads/writes some custom XML format directly. It might be hard to make this configurable enough to cover a wide range of XML formats, so I kind of prefer the XSLT approach above. One use case of this new feature is support for OpenSync's XML PIM formats --- Bug imported by patrick.ohly@gmx.de 2012-07-29 20:36 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 677 at https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=677
