I can't (for instance) figure out how to add new items to my outlines
(both new items and subitems).

A walkthrough on:
1. Why you would want to "push".
2. What exactly happens when you "push".
3. How MobileOrg "sees" what has been pushed.
4. Sync issues that might occur in the push.
5. Why you would want to "pull".
6. What exactly happens when you "pull".
7. Sync issues that might occur in the pull.
8. Safety approaches for #4 and #7.
Give a detailed, but high-level, example to ground the above topics.

And that makes it hard to "contact the app developers". I'm not (yet)
doing detailed work on it, so I don't want to push them until I have
something strong to say. I post my general questions here on the
assumption that this is the most likely central point that one (or more)
people using/developing MobileOrg would see and maybe interest would
perk up.
