Wade,
yes, some dated version of Synergy sources are in the NetBeans SVN
repository but I have asked Lada to remove sensitive/private data from
his local version and commit it to our repository. Publishing on GitHub
is unfortunately not an option due to Oracle ownership and hence
licensing issues.
Thanks,

Is Synergy open sourced out in Github or else where? If I missed this in my
reading apologies. If not, can it be?
I have used this a lot, and very useful, but definitely not the same
Synergy :-)

Yes Emi, Synergy was developed by Vladimír Říha (an Oracle employee) and
it is only used by Oracle as far as I know - now already by two projects
(NetBeans and ABCS).
I agree that it's a really great tool but I don't agree that you should
feel bad about not knowing Synergy before. :)
Here is the list of all important features which Synergy provides:
* users/roles/tribes management
* test specifications management including history
* projects/versions/platforms management
* tutorials reviews
* progress tracking, calendar
* automatic execution time measurement
* executive views (coverage, statistics, summaries)
Hope this helps,

It's humbling that I'm only learning of this now. I should have joined
NetCAT...
The tool looks very nice! I assume it's something custom made since I
can't
find any other reference to it.

What is Synergy and what are the test specifications?
Let me start with the second part of the question. The test specs contain
test cases that are executed by manual testers to verify functionality.
These test specs have been compiled by many different people over the
years. The test specs did live on the wiki until Synergy was created.
Here
is a sample of one such a test spec in Synergy:

netbeans_api_support_functionality/
Synergy is the test management tool that allows us to store multiple
revisions of the test specs for the different versions of the IDE. Also
to
record issues with test specs so that they can be fixed. And to create
test
runs, where manual testers are assigned (or volunteer for) tests to
execute. Synergy also allows the testers to record test results. Here is
an
example of a past test run (note that this run also contain tutorial
reviews):
