I have been working really hard for the last month on getting the Conduit core to a v0.2.0 ready state.... However after talking to a few people I have decided to delay v0.2.0 by a week to give more time for testing, and to increase the usefullness of some of the included dataproviders (Flickr and Fspot in particular).
The rationale behind this is, however cool an Idea Conduit is, it is only as useful as the things it can be used to sync with. I want this release to make a big splash, so I want the ability to sync with included GNOME apps to work really well. This means focusing a lot of testing on the Tomboy and F-spot datasources, and the Flickr datasink.
I encourage users to check out the latest version from svn to help in testing. In the meantime, here is a screenshot of Conduit running happily on Edgy.
After a solid month of work I just release v0.1 of Conduit.
Conduit is a synchronization solution for GNOME which allows the user to take their emails, files, bookmarks, and any other type of personal information and synchronize that data with another computer, an online service, or even another electronic device.
This version is the first version which is actually usable so I thought I would release it to gather feedback, particuarly about the GUI, and how people interact with the application.
The next version will bring more bling including
-
Treeview for datasources and sinks. They will be categorised into groups to more easily distinguish between them
-
Threading cleanups so that sync's may be cancelled while in process
-
Flickr datasource and sink
-
Two way sync for backpackit.com and files
-
Gmail dataprovider tidy ups
I am looking for help and interested developers. Check it out!
