Description
Somebody mentioned to me today that he wished Trac had an offline mode. "Google Gears" is a browser plugin which facilitates this sort of thing.
I don't know how much work it would be to add Google Gears support to Trac. I may look into it at some point, but right now this is purely a wishlist issue.

a quicker path to offline mode would be to support syncing several instances of trac with interactive conflict resolution. The offline instance could run the sync routine against the online version and ask the offline user how to resolve conflicts.
Google gears includes sqlite for storage, but would essentially require reimplementing large parts of the server-side code in javascript (and would still require a facility for resolving conflicts)

offline mode would be great; I feel I must work to the whim of my internet connection without it - franz

what exactly is the eclipse plugin mylyn doing when providing its offline mode? It seems like it is doing what we want...
comment:6 Changed 3 years ago by shedali
google gears is offline mode for trac-access via the browser rather than via an IDE

subscribing. I don't think it's necessary for trac to be great, but it'd be useful for those few times I'm on a plane.

Is SD (http://syncwith.us/) a useful step in this direction? It claims to be distributed issue tracking, with a connector for Trac, so this might be exactly what is required.

Seems like this will require porting Trac to Google Apps infrastructure.

How so?

Things have changed. Now it will require some HTML5 work.

Gears are no more required. Will it suffice for original reporter if we just use HTML5 web storage, SQL database and Applicate Cache facilities? http://apirocks.com/html5/html5.html#slide7

We might use Web Storage for storing user preferences, one day (i.e. most of session_attribute).
