Well once again Rahul we are having difficulty communicating and I don't
know why. 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.

I don't object to it but I am not sure what exactly you are discussing about.   I don't use Tomboy and I don't keep track of it and couldn't have given you any detailed guide on setting up sync.   If you want help on using Tomboy,  the discussion about Gnote seems a side topic that should be seperate. 



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

Where is the disagreement?  If a GUI program gets updated all the time but no new command line options are added, then there is no need to update the man page and hence a man page is a very poor way of keep track of whether a software is updated actively or not.  GUI programs keep their help files updated and that is *not* a man page.  GNOME and KDE for instance use docbook and yelp is the help application for GNOME apps.  Looking at the cvs or git tree is obviously much better way to keep track of development changes and I have given you a link to that.  

 
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?

Yes, the server side software of Ubuntu One is entirely proprietary
