Kirk,

I've been using synergy quite a bit for the last few weeks, and I'm
beginning to get the hang of it.

You mention starting a web page... I think a mail list or wiki of some
sort would be very helpful for Synergy. I think Dave Engvall has
mentioned this before, too. Synergy is kind of hard to use and has some
pitfalls that it takes a while to discover. Having said that, its quite
useful in my opinion.
