There is already a gnome-pilot website at gnome.org you can find it here
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-pilot/ its very out of date and has a
link at the top pointing to eskil's site. I don't see why this site can't be
retrofitted and updated.

This would be really good. I'd also like to see support for mobile phones
like the Nokia 6xxx 7xxx series etc which support large contact lists /
calenders etc so we could do things like three way sync between
PDA/Phone/PIM

I think you also need to contact the guys @ gnome.org and get full access to
CVS and the ability to update the website @
http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnome-pilot/
