(Get the code!)
Ubuntu One is going to be a user of the API provided by indicator-sync; it's already building against libsync-menu1, which is provided by the indicator-sync source, but by itself this does not mean that anything will "appear" on the desktop to track syncing processes -- the indicator-sync binary package, which will provide the actual indicator, is needed for that.
indicator-sync will provide a location (a new indicator) that will be used by processes doing some form of network synchronization (such as Ubuntu One, Dropbox, etc.) in the form of a menu where the progress of such processes can be followed.
The binary packages provided by indicator-sync (source) are already available in Ubuntu and are already in the main component, this is strictly a change to make sure the indicator is available in the Unity session; the proposed method for this is to add it, like the other indicators, as a Recommends to the unity binary package.
