The Debian Package qwerkisync
----------------------------

This package will import and export your communications data to and from files.

It's alpha-quality. Understand this. That said, I use it and haven't had major
problems with it yet.

It will create backups of your communications database files each time it is
used. These are located in the usual backups folder should you ever need to
recover them manually. It will cycle these backups, keeping at most the last 3.

Currently, it supports SMS message import/export to/from VMG files. I plan to
add call logs, MMS, and chat log support. I also plan to add support for mutiple
formats for each of these in time (i.e. Android-compatible formats). It also
currently preserves SMS-transported data such as clender events and
configuration data. these will show in the rtcom-messaging-ui as contact cards
as that's the only attachment it expect SMSes to have. They have ot be stored
however to ensure the export is the same as the import.

The backends it currently supports are Maemo5's rtcom-eventlogger for all event
types other than MMS and it will (hopefully!) shortly support Fmms on Maemo5 for
MMSs.

In the long-term, I plan to add MMS support to the normal rtcom-eventlogger (and
fork Fmms to use this instead) and will add support for this format to the
program.

...in the long-long future I'd like to reimplement the rtcom-messaging-ui
component so that's another closed-source package to tick off the freedom list,
obviously adding support for the new events I'll be adding.
