The OpenSync project is an ongoing effort to create a synchronization framework that will be a platform independent, general purpose synchronization engine utilizing modular plugins for content formats and different kind of connection types. OpenSync's modularity should allow it to be extended easily to new devices and purposes without radically changing the architecture itself, allowing it to support wide variety of devices used today and in the future. Even being a general purpose framework that keeps the doors open for many use cases, OpenSync's main and most practical goal is to create a solution to synchronize PIM (Personal Information Management - addressbook contacts, calendar events and tasks, personal notes, etc) data between mobile devices like mobile phones, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant), desktop computer PIM tools and -services. OpenSync is a successor of project Multisync, created by the same people. Multisync's development stalled and it is no longer maintained, so users using it should look to upgrade to OpenSync when possible. The combined project history of these projects is long and currently the future looks bright for achieving the original goals.
