+Vdirsyncer is a command-line tool for synchronizing calendars and addressbooks
+between a variety of servers and the local filesystem. The most popular usecase
+is to synchronize a server with a local folder and use a set of other programs_
+to change the local events and contacts. Vdirsyncer can then synchronize those
+changes back to the server.
+
+However, vdirsyncer is not limited to synchronizing between clients and
