Bonobo/ORBit is probably the best way to do this. The daemon is of
course not going to have any widgets embedded anywhere. We need a
good sync system for GNOME. I would love to see multisync be it.
However, it is going to take a lot of work.

Yeah. It would be nice to have a standard plug-in specification for the
sync framework. Each desktop could then have their own sync daemon/gui,
but could share some plug-ins or such.

I would like to see a web "browser" that used the bookmarks system that
is inherent in gnome, but no-one uses, except for me, apparently. Since
it is just a vfolder now, with the gnome-vfs stuff, you can store
bookmarks anywhere you want, and share them more easily with others. It
is really quite nice. But, that discussion doesn't belong here.
