Ok. I think it would be better to explicitely demand the sync. People
have to understand that once they press that button their configuration
will be used to fetch tasks because, once it's pressed, it will be hard

I used mockingbird, but I discovered that the big "share" button right
now does only show a picture. They're working on collaboration.
Anyway, I've made a inkscape version, as you suggested, which is now available

Thanks for your help!
