Thanks for the pointer to the ASPN article.
This one? http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/pubs/sync-abstract.htmlHas anyone found any good synchronization algorithms?
As far as I can tell, you have to keep or synthesize a
transaction log of changes, and apply them during synchronization.

The paper listed above talks about synthesizing a record of changes (IAs far as I can tell, you have to keep or synthesize a
transaction log of changes, and apply them during synchronization.

believe by comparing the new record with the old record) for each replica of
the record, then using some conflict resolution rules to combine them into 1
record of changes, which is then applied to all the replicas.
This would seem to work well if Bitpim were to synthesize with both the
phone and outlook, mozilla, etc.
