Looking at these instructions for SynCE just sickens me. I really want to strongly suggest one doesn't follow the instructions, but not only does it look as if I'm too late, it also highlights how horrible the SynCE documentation is. Currently the new docs are stored in a less-than-finished docbook file in Subversion: http://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/synce/trunk/synce-docs/. If you're good with Docbook and want to help, email me.
On other SynCE notes, the new site is ready, but the docs are preventing me using the site.
Debian BBQ tomorrow. Lack of laptop means lack of general communication.
