GMail + SyncML
by Simon Mbuthia 14 Jul '10

Hey midnight skunkers, Anyone who uses SyncML to sync GMail contacts on their phone? It once worked for me but hasn't been working lately. I've just tried capturing HTTP response headers from https://m.google.com/syncml and I get a status 404 message. I'm just wondering if the service has been down all this time or is there something that I just don't get. Me.

Re: [Skunkworks] .co.ke domains

@Brainia, I don't work for KENIC so i cannot purport to talk on their behalf on staffing, but you realise a company more so a PPP model like KENIC must have structure like a board, credit control, audit, marketing, customer care, administrative managers, and techies, and other I might have overlooked. The prices can be lowered if KENIC has seed capital to cushion it for the lack of profit. But again, will there be more uptake on .ke domains just because the prices have been lowered? Are we patriotic enough to carry our brand on our shoulders? We have enough .ke extensions that compete well with gTLD equivalents. .ac.ke, .me.ke, and .sc.ke are good examples priced at KES500. But I still see many schools and colleges going for the .com and .org nevertheless .za domains are not that cheap either because they move for about RS110 despite the huge marketshare they command @Katembu, thank you for capturing wanjuki's views correctly. The other charges associated with running companies in Kenya still inflict KENIC -- ______________________ transworldAfrica.com | Fluent in computing transworldAfrica.com/domain | The ALL powerful domain search tool kenya.or.ke | The Kenya we know

Additional Modules To Existing OpenBravo Suite Of Applications
by Kevin Oeba 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

Hi, I was looking at OpenBravo to see if it will address the needs of a Property Management Company. Modules related to ERP functionality are on point.That is , CRM, Financials, et al. The client will want to keep track of his Properties , Leases ,etc. This information is not captured with OpenBravo. Question is, is it possible to develop an additional module to handle this information ? That is,the module to integrate with the existing OpenBravo suite of applications ? Has anyone worked on such an approach ? Kind regards, Kevin
