A gmail exporter might be a different matter though ;-) I see that google are planning to offer a gmail uploader as part of their premier edition.

I think it is very important that everything Fon releases is of very high quality and very "polished" (polished not meaning flashy, but finished in great detail).

Two comments: 1. To me, Fon is all about unused individual resources useful to the community. These resources now focus on bandwidth, but maybe also be storage, computing power, time, etc. So it would be great if the FonTools could be focused around this. 2. Be sure to check out Adobe Flex and Apollo. Apollo lets you develop very rich, nice applications that work on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Flex is available today, Apollo is a few months away. Flex and Apollo are the perfect platform for Fon. My best wishes to your whole team, - Mike Hi Martin,
