I think that would be fair to say.  The term staging made a bit more sense 
before Dropbox support was added, since the files were typically "staged" in a 
local directory then copied to your WebDAV server.

The badge will show the cumulate count of unsynced edit/new notes, so it will 
be the sum of the red indicator badges that show up on the Outlines and Capture 
buttons.  When you open the app and press sync, the badge will be cleared.

No background syncing happens at all, it is a manual process triggered by 
pressing the 'Sync' icon on the main Outlines screen.

This is a good idea, I need to make some better videos with instructions of how 
to get going from the ground up.  I hope to do this soon.

This would be interesting, but at present it doesn't do anything fancy.  The 
idea is to use the refile mechanism and sort them after a pull.
