What is it?
===========
Conduit is a synchronization application for GNOME. It allows you to synchronize your files, photos, emails, contacts, notes, calendar data and any other type of personal information and synchronize that data with another computer, an online service, or even another electronic device.
Conduit manages the synchronization and conversion of data into other formats.
For example, Conduit allows you to;
* Synchronize your Tomboy notes with another computer
* Synchronize your your PIM data to your mobile phone, iPod,
Nokia Internet tablet, or between computers
* Upload photos to Flickr, Picasa, SmugMug, ShutterFly and your iPod,
* ... and many more
Any combination you can imagine, Conduit will take care of the conversion
and synchronization.

What Can Conduit Do:
====================
For a list of all the services that conduit supports see
* http://www.conduit-project.org/wiki/SyncStatus
Conduit can perform one-way and two-synchronization (and conversion/transcoding)
of data between locations. In one-way sync/export conduit will only replace
exising data if the new copy has been modified. It can also optionally delete
data if the original has been deleted.
Conduit has a complete DBus interface to allow other application authors to
use Conduit to perform the synchronization and export tasks of their
applications.
