[Moin-user] Offline moin with Google Gears

[John Gill]

The release of  google gears: http://code.google.com/apis/gears/ has got 
me thinking that it might not be too difficult to provide offline 
support for moin.  

I did a bit of playing with the simple gears example that caches a simple
manifest of urls for use offline.

With this I am able to cache a (partial) moin wiki, but it is a bit 
fragile eg if stuff
in the manifest gets deleted or renamed the syncing throws an exception and
stops.   No real surprise as the API being used here is really intended for
static content.

However, there is a more powerful API available, but using that is 
getting way
beyond my javascript skills.

I think someone who knew what they were doing could knock up a viable 
offline
wiki an a matter of days.    Initially, this would just be read only 
offline, but with automatic syncing whenever it detects you are on line.

Is there any interest here in working on this?
