KDE and OpenSync develop KitchenSync to replace KPilot (NewsForge)
[Posted December 16, 2005 by ris]
NewsForge covers
the KitchenSync. "Developers of the K Desktop Environment (KDE)
have teamed with those at the OpenSync project to produce a graphical
interface called KitchenSync to replace the KPilot PDA sync tool beginning
with the release of KDE 4. KDE developers made the decision to drop the
current synchronization code, including KPilot, an older application also
called KitchenSync, KSync, Kandy, and libksync, earlier this year in Spain
at the aKadamy conference, just days after a SUSE-sponsored coding session
in Nuremberg, Germany, where the KitchenSync interface was
developed."

This is good. It shows that KDE and other F/OS Software projects need not adopt an attitude against anything "not invented here". The devs have stated that in areas where their older code has greater functionality, it will be contributed to OpenSync.
I think this is an excellent demonstration of the borrowing, sharing and ultimately choosing of best-of-breed implementations where F/OS Software leads the way.
