Reading the page I linked to it seems Mozilla offers a free of charge Sync server for anyone to use, so if we follow their design strictly we might be able to use it. At the very least it seems like a sensible option for something under the GSoC scope (since setting up our own infrastructure would be time consuming). > >> - Try to do this globally in GNOME as a service, that perhaps at first >> could only deal with the browser data. >> This will for sure be harder, since you'll have to convince a bunch of >> people about how to go about it, but I think long-term it is the way >> to go. > > How does this differ from Conduit?

I'm not sure of how much from it we could reuse. Xan _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
