After a conversation with David last year about bug-tracking, I worked up a rough python-based prototype of this. It worked in terms of namespaces, so Carl could associate the namespace "public" with a list of tags he publishes to a http-accessable location. And you could associate the namespace "cworth" with those same tags. He types `whatevercommand push public` and all tags "public.*" go to an config-associated URL. You type `whatevercommand pull cworth` and the tags come down from that URL as "cworth.*". So what he has as "public.to-push" comes down to your notmuch as "cworth.to-push". It's available here: http://commonmeasure.org/~jkr/git/nm-remote.git See these emails for more (but note that the repo url has changed to the above). id:"m1k4rkkchy.fsf@watt.gilman.jhu.edu" id:"m1hbmokbxj.fsf@watt.gilman.jhu.edu" There were some details and inherent ambiguities about conflict resolution, and the above emails explain how I dealt with them. Note also that it uses python's configparser, which will overwrite your config -- which means it'll get rid of your comments. So if you use any of the config-writing commands, make sure you back up your config first. Best, Jesse
