You also need to sync facts, and cards should either be synced separately (the current case) or synced as part of a fact, not the other way around, or you duplicate information. Then there is deck metadata like revision history that needs to be synced too. I believe this is all stored in a text file at the moment in Mnemosyne, but looking at Peter's code, I think he mentioned somewhere the possibility of storing it in SQL in the future.
