It's been awhile since my last update. Lots of things happened during this time. I may write about some of them in my next posts as it relates to why i'm writing the following:
I had some good feedback about GO Contact Sync over past few months. Thanks guys. I also got some error reports (yes, there were error belive it or not :). Some of the errors are quite tricky to tackle as it involves a Google account and an Outlook Contacts folder both which are unique to a particular user. You can guess that replicating the same error is not easy. Plus i found that Outlook API so not 100% reliable (i was getting errors when trying to access some contacts)
So, to cut a long story short, i've decided to go open source with this project. That way some of the tricky errors could be resolved with the help of the open source community.
The latest beta expired on 31st of March 2009, so i'll make sure i get the open source version release by that time.
I haven't decided on the hosting yet. The options are:
I want Subversion for version control so codeplex may not be the one (although i like everything else about their platform).
My other open source project - ClassFromConfig - is hosted with sourceforge.net, so that's my bet at the moment.
Would like to hear your thought on the matter.
