I'm not sure if that applies to Gnus; I think if Yamaoka-san does not synchronize gnus-sync.el with the Emacs trunk, that's sufficient to make us compliant with the Emacs feature freeze. Katsumi, can you do that? I won't commit before you confirm. Regarding gnus-sync.el, the good news is that it works great, the bad news is that you need a working CouchDB server. I tried a standalone server but CouchDB did what I needed much better. The old sync method, via a file, still works for those who don't want the new functionality. I sync subscriptions (including level), newsgroup topics, read ranges, and marks. It works pretty well for me after a weekend test. The biggest piece missing is username+password validation and I'm working on that. Ted
