Mark,

I forwarded this email to kimbro's personal address as well to try and 
make sure he sees it. As far as i know he's still very deeply involved 
in a new venture and has not been very active developing syncato of late.

So i'll leave off commenting until hopefuly he replies.

It's great to see that you guys have plans for syncato!
