I'm (very slowly) working on a kioslave for rsync. At this stage I'm just 
exec()ing the rsync binary. If you want to know how far I have to go, see:
http://www.cuneata.net/rsync-kio.html for the bad news.

One question that I'm still grappling with is how to handle motd. I have a 
very rough heurestic for finding it (everything up to the last blank line is 
motd), but I'm not sure how to handle displaying it.

I thought about trying to make it pop-up, but when you are browsing it will 
pop-up all the time. The novelty will surely wear off quite quickly...

Alternatively, I could just not worry about it. However that may not make some 
server admins too happy, and the idea of throwing away information isn't too 
attractive.

Or a one-time popup (per instance of the using app?)?

Or make it appear across the top of the page?

Any ideas?

Brad
