I thin the key question here is Is what gnus-sync needs just a network filesystem, or something special? If it works with a filesystem, then one can use all sorts of things, depending on what makes sense. Some people might want sync but not have an IMAP account (but then they probably have a news-only use case). But IMAP seems like a good place, as many people will already have it set up. I think the hard part is the conflict/merge model, for use with clients in different places. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (NetBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk887soACgkQH9p66AmO1g5aGwCfY5oWLWhJIw6vQMMb3yw/yxIa MVoAn0VPK6VP+tPMEPhaXDja9mbq+MRJ =A/8g -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
