Excuse the shameless quoting of fellow conduit contributor John Carr’s blog post but this video is pretty cool;
[googlevideo]http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-2623798477165899506&pr=goog-sl[/googlevideo]
Video showing how you can use Conduit to synchronise Evolution Contacts and Tomboy Notes between two machines running the GNOME desktop environment.
To start with, laptop 1 has 2 contacts and 1 tomboy note. Laptop 2 just has 1 tomboy note. After syncing, both will have 2 contacts and 2 notes. Not too exciting.. but then… (on laptop 2) 1 note and 1 contact are deleted. The remaining note and contact are modified as well. When the camera flips back to laptop 1 and the sync happens you will see the windows update in real time - including the an *open* tomboy note getting updated.
Apologies for the poor quality
Whoa, pretty cool indeed.
….
Now if only i had 2 laptops
Looking good, I’m still meaning to get back to you RE: New renderers, so please stand by. and PLEASE come to GUADEC!
K,
Hi,
I find the Conduit project awesome. I totally agree with you, Gnome should have a graphical, easy to use solution to sync devices. I think you are on the right way to do something really good. Lots of promises in that video.
I think you know about the graphical frontend called “multisync”.
What is quite new is, they have released today a new version called “gnome sync”, which is actually a new gui design based on multisync. It seems to have the same purpose as your project. Maybe you should discuss with the developers.

Please let me know if my remark is usefull.
