Sounds good to me. Nevertheless I would like to keep subprojects (see below).

We should definitely use another repository because network:synchronization is 
IMHO for stuff like rsync or csync and has nothing todo with Mobile/PIM 
synchronization. What about "Synchronization" as a new toplevel project? 
Furthermore, I would like to keep subprojects like:

Synchronization:OpenSync:Factory (devel project for factory)
Synchronization:OpenSync:SVN (svn snapshots)

and maybe for released versions which are still maintained:

Synchronization:OpenSync:$VERSION

What do you think?

Best regards,
Christopher
