Rails spinoffs - Jun 2007 - Google Gears (off-line support) - Any plans for Prototype supporting this???

Hi,

Are there any plans to provide off-line support for web applications
in Prototype using the recently announced Google Gears?

Details of Google Gears: http://code.google.com/apis/gears/architecture.html

Tks

I don''t think so.

This is too specific and from what i understand the user needs like
Google and install the Gears application, which limits the use of the
whole thing imho.

And just for the (currently rare) case that the coder and his app uses
Gears, and some people visiting your site then have it installed, a
widely used library such as Prototype most likely won''t include extra
5-20k Google code.

But i am just the average joe.

You should ask the in the prototype-core group anyways...

Regards,
Kjell

Hi Greg,
I''m guessing (and hoping) there will be.  I read/heard Alex Russell of
Dojo
contributed to the implementation of Gears, and Dojo Offline is adding a
wrapper/abstraction around Gears for their JStoolkit.  I''d guess the
Prototype core team might write some wrappers around the Gears api.   If
they don''t write one, the Prototype community will probably create some
good
add-on libraries that come along in the not too distant future.  After all,
that''s why it''s open source, we have the ability to do this,
as a means of
contributing.
My two cents.  ...it sure is an exciting time.
cheers,
Mark

Is Gears API compatible with Firefox''s offline mode (which is an
implementation of the WHATWG''s offline spec) - otherwise library
writers (Proto, jsQ, Dojo) are going to have to write a stupid wrapper
in the future :/

I don''t think Prototype will support it, but there is already another
javascript-style framework...

It''s Gearshift: Rails Migrations on Google Gears :-)

Any updates re Prototype and potential Google Gears support?
Comments re best way to move forward with an off-line requirement at
this stage for a Rails application?

Tks
