Definitely. But currently there is no client-side storage (besides cookies, of course) integrated into the framework.

Not much to discuss, offline capability would be a great addition to the framework and to many qooxdoo apps. ;-) There ain't plans for a short-term solution within qooxdoo. It might become a topic when or after tackling data binding (which should start shortly). Anyway, if there are some interested (maybe experienced) people, why not start to collaborate and create a project (or one for each storage technology) in qooxdoo-contrib?
