For who particularly? For content which you specify? An implementation for a company intranet with relatively fixed content which all users share can be cobbled together relatively simply. The server would compile the pdbs at fixed intervals and you can have a script on the users machine download and install them at sync time. If you are just thinking a general service for anyone to use for any content they like, it gets just a _bit_ more complicated. > I've read over all of the development archives and read the user manual, > so don't think I've missed anything, but can't find anything that says > this is currently possible. > There's no current implementations, but anything's possible if you're willing to code it. ;) If the point is to make things as simple as possible for normal users, why not just configure the users' distiller so they don't have to interact with it at all? There are already conduits for Plucker desktop and JPluck which will grab content on a schedule and install it on sync time. IMO, where Plucker is really lacking is getting the channel info from a browser/etc. into the distiller software in one click. Solve this and you can prepackage a distiller which will hide everything else from the user. Unless you're hoping to start a website which will offer this service.
