 | <P> Synchronization can be defined as the workflows relating to keeping local  | 
 |   resources in sync with variants of those resources found somewhere else. The  | 
 |   task of synchronizing a local workspace with another location can be divided  | 
 |   into two subtasks:</p> | 
 | <ul> | 
 |   <li>Providing and maintaining the list of resources that are out-of-sync.</li> | 
 |   <li>Displaying this list to the user in different ways depending on their current  | 
 |     task or workflow.</li> | 
 | </ul> | 
 | <P>The first subtask is addressed by the Team Core Subscriber API while the second  | 
 |   is addressed by various UI components built on top of this API.</p> |
