ANNOUNCE: Conduit 0.3.2

Hey Everyone!

I am proud to announce the third release in the Conduit development
series: Conduit 0.3.2

 * Download: http://www.conduit-project.org/wiki/0.3.2
 * Screenshot/Screencast: http://www.conduit-project.org/wiki/Screenshots

This is a development release, the third in the unstable 0.3.0 series
leading up to 0.4.0. This release includes a heap of bug fixes for
common issues, and a few new features including support of Box.net
(sync your files via the web) and better evolution support. For a full
list of changes see http://www.conduit-project.org/wiki/0.3.2

What is Conduit
==========
Conduit is a synchronization application for GNOME. It allows you to
synchronize your data between online web services (Gmail,
backpackit.com, Flickr, PicasaWeb, Box.net) and your computer.

What Can Conduit Do
=============
>From an end user perspective Conduit has reached the level of being
useful. Conduit can currently perform the following sync partnerships;

 * Two way file/folder sync on gnomevfs volumes and to/from Box.net
 * Two way Tomboy note sync via gnomevfs volumes
 * Two way Tomboy note sync via ipod notes
 * One way sync of files/folders of photos to Flickr, Smugmug and Picasa
 * One way sync of FSpot tagged photos to Flickr, Smugmug and Picasa
 * Sync and export of Evolution memos and tasks to ipod and to a folder.

In the one way sync/export case Conduit is smart in the sense that if
a piece of data has not been modified then it will not be
synchronized/exported again, it will replace the existing data. In
addition if data is subsequently removed from a source then its
corresponding data will also be deleted.

Conduit has a full featured DBus interface to allow other application
authors to use Conduit to perform the synchronization and export tasks
of their applications.

Whats Planned For Future
================
 * SyncML support
 * Google gdata support (Notes, docs, base)
 * Direct PC-PC sync over local LAN using Avahi

Development
=========
I am actively looking for help with this project. Contact me if interested.
 * Conduit is written in python and PyGTK
 * Conduit has been designed to be easy to extend. It implements a
plugin system much like deskbar.
 * One of Conduits main aims is to encourage other developers to
   come onto the project through supplying:
     ** Full API Documentation: http://doc.conduit-project.org/
     ** Developer Walk through:
         http://www.conduit-project.org/wiki/Development

Conclusion
=======
More and more people use online services to organise their life, I
hope Conduit can be the bridge between peoples computers and the web.
