It doesn't seem that my opinion matters (removal of syncer entry and  
no re-adding of it on my request). I'm thinking about removing my  
email address from the ideas page (first I want to send a private mail  
to Robert asking him if there are other reasons for the removal which  
where not made public).

Apart from that:
  - the wiki doesn't seem to be able to provide what Murray is
    interested in
  - I like Murrays idea
  - I don't care where the ideas page is located (static/wiki/...),
    as long as we have something to present to people which
    want to contribute

Bye,
Alexander.
