Org-mobile for Android and syncing

Org-mobile for Android and syncing

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi,

I'm about to buy an Android smartphone.  Of course, I want to use
Org-mobile.  However, I don't use Dropbox (I use another, similar
service, called SpiderOak).  Is it possible to synchronize using such a
service?  (If not, I'll set up a Dropbox account, which I'm probably
ging to do anyway - I'm just curious.)

Best regards,

No currently Mobileorg does not support SpiderOak. Here is a list of
supported methods:

          - Sync files from sdcard
          - Sync files from a WebDAV server
          - Sync files from Dropbox
          - Sync files from Ubuntu One
          - Sync files from an SSH server

Org mobile is currently unavailable in the Android market, with no
scheduled return time.

Are you sure? I can access it just fine:

Does this mean that if I have an account on some server, and I can log
in there through SSH, I can set it up for MobileOrg?  (Sorry for a
possibly lame question, I don't know much about networking and such
things.)

And a follow-up question: I'd like to be able to clock things on my
phone.  I can't see clocking in the feature set of MobileOrg; are there
any other Android apps to clock tasks, and is it possible to import
their data into Org?  If not, well, didn't someone mention GSoC;)?

Thanks a lot

Yes, just stage the files to the server. The initial setup wizard in
Mobileorg will guide you through the Android side of things.

Clocking is supported.

While talking about mobileorg features, can someone tell me which
mobileorg it is ? I can see at least 2: mobileorg (the origianl) and
mobileorgNG (a dead fork ?). Not clear for me.

Also, do I have to add per file SEQ_TODO/TAGS to be able to see them in
mobileorg ?

Thank you.
