Xmerge came out of project Starlite. The goal of Starlite was to
provide mobility to StarOffice documents. The Starlite
team developed
spreadsheet and document viewer applications with limited editing
capabilities for PalmOS. These applications were designed to
synchronize with the StarWriter and StarCalc applications on the
desktop.
Project ZenSync was the second phase of project Starlite to enable synchronization between StarPortal (a web-based version of its StarOffice) and an expanded set of small-device applications. The team designed and developed an architecture that would allow third parties to plug-in their converters to support their proprietary document formats. This work was enhanced by the team in Ireland (led by Brian Cameron).
