The stack is now on revonline (username alextweedly, category: General), 
called something like "Networked Address Book".

The synch method I used is described in 
http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2005-January/049974.html
along with some justification for why this method is needed (basically, 
I needed a scheme with no central "master" copy, and the ability to 
synch together any two copies that happen to come together at any time).

The sync idea is (I think) good and general (I use it for address, 
calendar and notes - but the sync'ing is done without regard to the 
content). The stack is usable, but has more rough edges than it does 
smooth bits.
