Re: SyncMemo notes

- IMHO, ~/.pilotmgr is the *right* place to put pilot data.
  All too often programmers mix code, data, log files, etc.
  so that you can never do a reasonable network install.

  One of the many nice things about PilotMgr, was that all I had to do
  to get it to work for everyone in my group was to just push
  the right paths on to @INC -- what a pleasure to have it be that easy!

- For me "Pilot->Sun" memos will be key!  Some feature requests:

  - It would be nice if you implement a similar script function that lets you
    invoke what ever you want each time a memo is updated from the pilot.
    For me I would like to have each memo under RCS control so I have
    history with out having to do anything.  

  - Automatically creating html indices of the memo's directory
    would be a nice navigational feature, that lets us use the
    browsers

  - If you have to store the memo meta information separately,
    consider using the perl data dumper like SyncCM does.
    This is a very cool feature -- now I have my entire
    calendar trivially accessible to perl.

Thanks in advance!
