My rough idea what's needed UI-wise:

- a configuration page where one can configure his/her online reader 
account(s). That would be your first screenshot (Update means "Edit" I 
think?)
- a menu entry like in your screenshot for triggering the sync manually

Manual synchronization would show a dialog with the additions/removals/changes 
and the possibility to influence the changes. 

Automatic synchronization would try to synchronize automatically if possible, 
and show the manual synchronization dialog if there are conflicts which 
cannot be resolved automatically.
(I think removal is safe if you store the result of the last sync and use them 
to find out whether a feed was eg. removed remotely or added locally?)

I checked out the workbranch and if I find the time, work a bit on the 
plugin-ization of the onlinesync feature and the needed interfaces on 
akregator side. It's important that adding/removing/changing subscriptions 
will be asynchronous and job-based, we must keep that in mind when 
implementing the synchronization code.

Frank
