I could use your help. However, it would be good if you could wait until the end of this weekend before starting any work on top of the web-sync branch, for the reasons outlined below.

I tried that and it was a mess, mostly because I moved files in the web-sync branch and bazaar refused to cope with the additional changes you stacked on these. I ended up with starting from the main branch, copying the files of the web-sync one and selectively committing the results. This was much easier to do, but I'm afraid that every soul who got the code off my web-sync branch will have to download it again. This being said, I did not see any related branches on Launchpad so I assumed that nobody had worked on top of it. I didn't push it for now because I didn't really test the result of the merge and waited for Ubuntu One not to return an empty note content for every single note I uploaded :-/ . I'll get a Snowy instance working on my machine this weekend to test everything and will hopefully push the resulting code to Launchpad. Thanks for your interest! > As a side note, this project is attracting a lot of people from France, I > wonder why is that? Maybe my french-styled english? :) > Nay, it's because us French people are attracted by shiny things (why else would we call Paris the city of lights?) and Tomdroid IS shiny. As a related note, I wanted to submit a proposal to change the default background from black (which is boring) to a bright and shiny yellow, with the note titles in red. In case it would be rejected, I'm ready to play my trump card: put the French flag in the background. Tomdroid has a bright future, I tell you that! Cheers, Benoit
