If you have any issues, feel free to ask for help in #snowy or
#tomboy, also we have a mailing list for snowy now:

Perhaps.  It is not something that was ever supported in sync before,
and would not be supported in Tomboy 0.14.x (we could definitely add
support in 0.15.x, though).  I can definitely see how it would be
useful.  Need to think a bit about the consequences of 0.14.x
interoperability (it would be a pain if every time a 0.14.x client did
a sync, it messed up your cursor position, for example).

Thanks for the feedback,
Sandy
