Re: Online Desktop, Tomboy, and user storage

[Havoc Pennington <hp redhat com>]

Hi,

OK, since my last mail was too long ;-)

The issue here is very simple. I have the existing Tomboy local data 
store (NoteManager) which is C# objects, and I have some server-side app 
logic (the Java process on online.gnome.org) which has its own way of 
looking at data (Java objects).

*As an implementation detail of a larger project* I need those two trees 
of C# and Java objects to be in sync.

If something like DAV gets involved, it's just as a protocol; it would 
be one way to eventually end up with Java objects in the server app. So 
let's just ignore DAV vs. XMPP for a minute.

OK.

Tomboy has a SyncManager thing, which knows how to sync the NoteManager 
to my implementation of a SyncServer interface that sends stuff to my 
server app.

The thing I'm planning is to implement SyncServer so it somehow gets 
stuff to my Java server, and then I'm coding a server-side app.

For me, SyncServer is just a simple way to hook in to Tomboy.

So, concretely how does Conduit affect what I am doing, meaning, which 
code I'm thinking of writing in Tomboy would I write differently?
