Newtourage (based on your DIL Tester) has been on hold for a while. I was
waiting for MS's Sync API to become available and then for a conflict
between it and RB to be resolved. As of last night (around 2am) those issues
were taken care of. I'm in the process of finishing dates support now. I'll
really get into it next week (after finals) and hope to devote some serious
effort to it before classes resume in mid January. This has been a long time
coming.
I'll leave it to the rest of the list to describe nSync. John Anderson
created a pretty solid OSX/Cocoa connection platform.

Don't know, but I'm interested in this as well. I would really like to make
Newtourage OSX native, but don't want to rewrite everything from scratch.

Oh, a lot. But I'll let the various creators of software take credit for
their own work.
