+I want all my computing environments "furnished" similarly and as close
+to my personal taste as possible - be it big and small machines,
+self-administered and user accounts of others.
+
+...and not only for myself - similar is needed for the environments I
+help maintain for [Siri][] and [Erik][].
+
+[Siri]: http://sirireiter.dk/
+ "Siri Reiter - my girlfriend and closest colleague"
+
+[Erik]: http://www.erikjosefsson.eu/
+ "Erik Josefsson - fellow Freedom fighter at the European Parliament"
+
+The environments are seldom fully equal, so simply copying things around
+is rarely useful.
+
+Here's a checklist of things that I need to customize and syncronize for
+me and my friends to feel at $HOME...:
+
+ * System-wide
+ * Tools available on the system
+ * Graphical login and Desktop environments
+ * Adjust fonts, colors etc. of terminal emulator, file manager etc.
+ * Register SSH in monkeysphere, MAC in DHCP and hostname in DNS
+ * Account
+ * Syncronize browser bookmarks
+ * Install/configure browser search plugins, config tweaks etc.
+ * Setup email and messaging accounts, and syncronize archives
+ * Syncronize development scripts, git repositories etc.
+ * Register account in monkeysphere
+
+Above is work-in-progress. I hope to later extend with more details -
+probably by linking to separate pages about each subtopic.
