Yeah I was, but I need to find the time, don't expect too much/something
soon.

I'm not completely following here.
What I think you mean: If you have a pilot with palmOs5, then you have a
contactDB as wel as an addressDB database. If the contactDB sync conduit
will be finished and ready for use, you would see them both in the
configuration, they would both be launched during sync, ... So that's a
problem. There should be something in gnome-pilot that determines the
version of the os first, an then launch the contactDB conduit and ignore
the addressbookDB conduit. I think it's that what you're working on?
