For a week or so I have been asking people to share with me information on syncing in tomboy. If you or Michael had shared with me the information above the whole discussion would not have gone on for the length you object to. OK, if by synchronization of the databases of two machines you mean updating the information in the gnote (or tomboy) on the first machine with the database information on the second machine, this is trivial to do. I am tempted to leave the solution to the reader with the hint that using this method would necessitate logging off and logging on again on the second machine. The tomboy synchronization does work but the synchronized database ends up in a file called sync-sshfs in the .cache/tomboy of the users home directory where it can not be accessed by tomboy. If someone knew how to transfer this information to the proper tomboy database the system would work. Information on this would be accepted. Now for man pages. Here Rahul we disagree. The man page should contain a discriprion of all the options available in the the program (GUI or command line). Or there should be an info file with this information. It is the documentation of the program's use. (I admit this approach is not followed in most man pages). I have taught Software Development and believe in the rules set down by Fred Brooks in "Mythical Man Month" that Documentation is an integral part of the development process. No software updated in 2011 should have documentation dated 2004. The configuration of Tomboy under Ubuntu is described in detail in the Tomboy wiki: http://live.gnome.org/SeanFritz/UbuntuGutsyTomboySync It requires software not available in Fedora. Is this the proprietary part you are talking about Rahul? -- ======================================================================= If you don't care where you are, then you ain't lost. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
