The documentation would have probably been written by now if someone
would have replied to my proposed structure.

My feeling was that myself and Jonnylamb should make the initial pass.
Mainly to get the structure right. We are also keen to moderate the
new wiki as the old one has errors... And looking at the "resources"
on ubuntuforums.org we are keen not to have just anyone writing things
on there - the "help" is often dangerous or just plain wrong.

There is a project underway somewhere to take care of that. "Not yet"
would be the response.

Tis great to here acceptance (wrt conduit). Its taken a lot to get so
far, and some peoples attitudes just make you want to give in.

Hope my reply got through! No, my desire was that jagow might be able
to resurrect the RRA stuff inside sync-engine.

With the work that jagow and mark are doing that won't matter - we can
have a nice working and modern opensync/sync-engine/odccm. Really
don't want to have to figure out and document years old releases of
things :-)
