Yes... it was me. I input the  "WWWOFFLE for unreliable or intermittent 
internet connections" section of the "XS Techniques and Configuration". I am 
running wwwoffle on an XS in Kenya, and it is helping out a lot. In fact, we 
have loaded up a ton of educational site pages to the XS while on high speed 
connection, and all this material is available to the students even when the XS 
is offline, which is most of the time. We have created courses in Moodle where 
the topics are groupings of educational categories, and each educational site 
is add to the topic as a "link to a website" resource.

As you can tell from the method I used, it is a manual process, and Martin has 
asked me to work on making it a little more integral to the build, so that a 
script can take care of switching between Squid and wwwoffle for instance.

I have not had the time to develop this yet, and will be going back to Kenya 
soon. I hope to carve out some time soon, but if you want to jump in, that 
would be great.
