What about email?
Feel free to extend it for those, we even have some working code from
the last Summer of Code that tried using this extendable Sync platform
to also sync mail/news status. It's certainly doable, but first, we
tried to port over what's already there, which already is a big step,
and has been a lot of work for Jens.
We're surely happy about anyone working on hooking more things into this
framework, feel free to help us there!
Oh, and about the style of your message, please read this piece about
what one Mozilla community member found with his own attitude:

That said, I don't see any "attitude" in the style of Ed's post - do you?
Thanks. I was wondering about that too. I thought I was fairly
judicious in my remarks.
My point was, ok, great, but that is solving a lesser problem. The
larger one is what I described.
Yes, I know, the devs are stretched and I appreciate that.
Actually, I appreciate ALL that that the devs do on the SM project.
But, what? I'm supposed to shut up because I don't code?
Well, ok, then put out a statement to that effect. And I'll stop
posting/suggesting areas of improvement.
Users overwhelmingly outnumber devs. If you don't want our input, tell us.
I thought my "attitude" was neutral at best. If not, I apologize if you
took affront to it. No intention there.
Still, synching up PCs really should be made easier. I know how to edit
prefs.js files etc. Should I have to if I want my laptop to be an image
of my desktop? Hey, I've figured it out. Just saying, maybe this is
something someone might look at.
And, no, telling me, a very long-time user, "Feel free to write the code
yourself ..." is ... umm ... a cop-out and an insult. Besides which, if
I could, I would. And, furthermore, it is just a freaking suggestion/wish.
I'm tired of the knee-jerk reaction "Code it yourself!" to so many
pleas, suggestions, wishes etc. It is insulting. TO YOUR USER BASE.
Why are you spending so much time on this if you don't care about your
users? If you care about your users, why not listen to them?
Look. You don't want users to use? You don't want users to
participate? Fine. When all the users are gone, what are you gonna be
working for?

Lead me not into temptation (I can find the way myself).
