With regard to planned apps,

* Tomboy has expressed interest, but has not wanted to depend on Conduit
while it is not a part of GNOME
* Cheese has also shown interest for photo/video upload

We of course have plans to integrate with other applications, but its a
balancing act between adding features/fixing bugs in Conduit core to
make it work, and spending time on integrating it with other apps. The
relative motivation for which of these tasks to work on depends on
Conduits presence/importance in GNOME.
