Interesting idea but I’ve got all kinds of questions about how well it would integrate with WordPress (assuming a developer will take the time to look at the toolkit and create a plug-in or hack to enable it’s use). With wordpress.com it would probably be okay but for those of us with our own wordpress installs (and all the custom layouts/plugins with it) I think it will be a much harder app to implement. That’s not to say I don’t hope something like this works
Hi Darren and Jonathan, I’m not sure how it would work with WordPress. It requires that some of the application logic be written in JavaScript, so it can work offline; it is very compatible with Ajax/DHTML oriented web apps like Gmail. It might be possible to create some JavaScript that recreates parts of the WordPress interface when offline, perhaps a simple client-side XSLT script even, and store your data into the Dojo Offline cache when offline…. thats how I would do it. The application would know when you go offline, since the Dojo Offline API would provide this; when that happens, the JavaScript/XSLT part would take over. Links or buttons that would normally invoke server code would simply invoke the client-side JavaScript instead, so you would get an editing form for creating or modifying a blog post, for example. This would actually be pretty fun to create.
Awesome idea! It would be neat to be able to WordPress while away from a network. That, and I like the name.

Seems to be a bad link.
