the wallet currently support backup with the sync service, should we test this kinto integration?

I don't understand what you're saying. First of all, *which* wallet are you talking about? (Core, Android, WebExtension?). Second, "test into integration" doesn't make sense (in English).

The wallet core has the feature to configure a sync service, maybe that feature was not there in 2017 (when the ticket was written).

> Second, "test into integration" doesn't make sense (in English).

Kinto is the name of the software you mentioned some years ago, I should have say "should we test an integration with the kinto server?" to be more precise.
Or just having the integration with the current taler sync service is enough?

Kinto was just mentioned as something to take as inspiration when we designed sync. No actual integration with Kinto was ever envisioned, it's more that we (in the past) could take it for inspiration from the protocol-perspective, and today could still take inspiration from it in terms of UX design.
