I uploaded an HTML file (saved from the Maemo Browser) using Petrovich, and I get:

Not sure what to make of the above...

Hmm, doesn't look too good :/ And converting to PDF is a bit overkill...

I don't know about other applications, but for Conboy I currently have no plans to add it. But of course feel free to add an enhancement request to bugzilla.

In fact I'm not even sure whether or not there is platform support for it.

It looks like I cannot fix the broken word completion in Fremantle. What do you guys think? Leave the broken behavior or disable word completion completely?

I found something about sync with Ubuntu One. Maybe it'll be helpful. But you probably aware of that. http://arstechnica.com/open-source/g...buntu-one.ars/

Thanks that was an interesting read. It's not really related to Conboy, but still interesting. Conboy talks to Ubuntu One not using CouchDB, but using the REST API. The advantage is, that we can also sync to other services which implement this API.
Those are currently:

Snowy: Open source web service and web interface which you can install on your own servers if you want. Developed mostly be the Tomboy guys. Hopefully soon in beta stage.
Midgard: Open source content repository which is used as backend for maemo.org in many places. Still needs support for OAuth 1.0a. Will hopefully come soon.
Ubuntu One: Not open source, but more or less working service from Canonical.

Soon the first two projects (Snowy and Midgard) will offer a hosted service. Snowy will power www.tomboy-online.org and Midgard will offer the service on maemo.org.

There are still bugs with all involved parties, but I would expect something that is ready for production use in about half a year maximum.

If you install the Midgard storage plug-in for Conboy (when it is done), you'll be able to skip the cloud completely and use replication features for syncing notes.

Would be very nice to have export and import to the notetaking app in the calendar, in this way i would have my notes in outlook to!

Possible? Feature for the future?

Would it be possible to make it export and import notes from the built in app, so i can have the notes synced with outlook.

An example of bullets would convert to the "-" sign for instance. Others could be stripped. To keep compatability.

thx for listening.

I didn´t yet look at the calendar API, but I think it should be possible. Of course (as you already pointed out) there is the issue of loosing text styles, bullet indentation, etc.

Could you please file an enhancement request here: https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Conboy

It helps me not to forget and other people can vote on it.
Thanks!
