Is CardDAV-Sync Open-Source Software?
Currently it isn't, but it is planned to make it Open-Source once it evolves to version 1.0.
Why don't you make it Open-Source right now?
Because it's not ready yet. Some parts of the source code are quite messy, it would be too embarrassing to publish it ;-)
Is it safe to use two-way-sync?
I'm using two-way-sync myself and I know of many users using it as well. So far I've not heard of any serious data loss or corruption. Still, the source code it not stabilized yet and every modification can bring new bugs, so use it with care. (Making backups on a regular base is a good idea anyway).
I can only create/edit a contact's names and photos
This is a known Android issue. The stock contact editor is not capable of editing contacts from custom sources (please see Issue 5988). To address this issue I've taken the editor from the Android 2.1 sources and made it work with custom sources. Its available at the market as Contact Editor or Contact Editor++ (the later one has several improvements over the stock editor)
It doesn't sync what can I do?
Please have a look at Supported servers & services first. Maybe there is a known issue with your server. Otherwise please send me a log from your phone. There is an excellent app called CatLog that can do this. Also include the model of your phone and the server you're using in the mail.
