That is because he said it to me in an e-mail off-list. All of Fedora is
free is it not. As far as I know I can ask the Fedora developers to do
anything I want them to do and they can ignore the request.

I guess I have not been clear. The synchronization I am takng about is
not a one time thing. You can synchronize tomboy databases on different
machines as often as you want in tomboy. That is, you could if it worked
right, But so far it says it is synchronizing but it doesn't. And I
still think it is something worth doing.
