Currently gnus-sync has two modes: 1) file sync: can save arbitrary variables (e.g. the topology), write everything out every time, very risky 2) LeSync: to CouchDB server, saves in a neutral format, will (I hope) be supported by other newsreaders as well some day. DB rows are per group and contain all the marks, the topic, the offset within the topic (so topics are recreated with all their contents), and the machines where those groups have been saved. Only the modified groups are saved, it's very fast and compact JSON. >>> and how to use it. >> >> Ah... that bit is still in the process of being nailed out, I think...? DA> Even some very rough tutorial/getting started guide would be lovely. Agreed. I'm not able to produce it now. If you or Steinar could take what he wrote and the above and put it in a .texi file, it would help. Or wait for me to get to it--this year, I hope. Ted
