A walkthrough on: 1. Why you would want to "push". 2. What exactly happens when you "push". 3. How MobileOrg "sees" what has been pushed. 4. Sync issues that might occur in the push. 5. Why you would want to "pull". 6. What exactly happens when you "pull". 7. Sync issues that might occur in the pull. 8. Safety approaches for #4 and #7. Give a detailed, but high-level, example to ground the above topics. >> Who is running MobileOrg and what's its status? > > - Who: http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/support/ > - Status: http://mobileorg.ncogni.to/development/ and > https://github.com/mobileorg/mobileorg > > Regarding all of the questions above, I'd contact the app developers, > as it seems your inquiries relate to phone usage, not anything on the > Org side.

I'm not (yet) doing detailed work on it, so I don't want to push them until I have something strong to say. I post my general questions here on the assumption that this is the most likely central point that one (or more) people using/developing MobileOrg would see and maybe interest would perk up. -- David Masterson Programmer At Large
