This is similar to T713, but much simpler. It'd be nice if we could:
I'd be tempted to add some sort of "offline search", but that's significantly more complex than doing "check last modified time of task / diff and if out of date store relevant pages in HTML5 offline cache" logic.
I don't know if you both talked offline to this task or what have you, but I don't really get how this is a more simple version of T713? ie we'd still need to re-write how stuff works to have some sort of javascript client handling loading pages?
Yeah, I don't think anything about this is simple if the end results is expected to be usable for normal users.
Hmm, I thought this might have been possible with HTML5 Application Cache, configuring it to cache pages and use them if offline, but it looks like there's no way to configure it to use the online version when you're online, without explicitly clearing the cache from the server-side.
