Thanks for the heads-up, anyway. It's good to know they're working in
that direction. Maybe I'll poke my head over there and check it out; I
don't know much about how the syncing works, but I'd imagine that
kitchensync is more about making the various file formats interoperate,
and I ought to be able to help with that. If I can get off my lazy
butt.
