Yeah. But the Address Book syncing is broken so that gets fixed
first. (^: First I fixed the bug wherein it crashed if someone had
more than one email address. Offered the fix to the Nowhereman very
very early Sunday morning (Pacific), no response back from him yet.
Of course, once you have that, you find out that if your address book
is anywhere near complex (multiple numbers for people (hey, I live in
Silicon Valley)), newtsync will severely damage your Address Book.
Danger Will Robinson! I'm looking into that now. It's using the
standard Cocoa AB interface methods so I'm not sure what's wrong, but
I've read in the list archives that it will stomp data (er,
duplicate?) if someone only has a first name or only a last name,
that sort of thing.

ps. Please feel free to send me your newtsync address book
complaints (with isolated examples!) off-list.
pps. I do intend on shipping all of the code back to Chris
(Nowhereman) once I'm done. I do appreciate the work he's put into
commenting the original code and the fixes he's put in.
