I've been making progress on the synchronization feature to BottomFeeder. How does this work? Well, there are two ways you can use this:

• From Bf, execute a remote synch. This assumes that Bf is running on the remote system, and that port 8666 is accessible (HTTP) from where you are running Bf locally
• Since that may be problematic, you can also export a synch file and then get that file over to the remote system manually (FTP, floppy, whatever) and then load it up.

The synchronization data is a simple dictionary of your feeds and all the items that have been read. When you synchronize, all matching items in the local Bf will be marked read (as they were in the source). This is pretty cool! I'll have an update to the dev stream as soon as I get more testing done on it.
