Synchronization with online readers would be _extremely_ interesting indeed. I 
played with the bloglines API a while back, but it's still a bunch of 
standalone classes implementing their API without any integration into 
Akregator. 

Mid-term something like this should be done on the basis of Akonadi, but as 
Akregator based on Akonadi won't be released before KDE-PIM 4.2, a simple 
synchronization of the feed list (opposed to a full sync including items/item 
states) could be implemented on the current codebase and would already be 
available in 4.1 then. It would be already tremendously useful and not too 
hard to port over to Akonadi.

Do you want to work on it? I can assist you where necessary, either here or on 
IRC (#kontact).

Regards,

Frank
