I would point out that: 1. Transactions will not be useful if you cannot connect to the database 2. Google Gears and Prism seem to focus first on bridging the web / application space for a single user, rather than dealing with multi-way synchronization
Source code control systems are explicitly designed to manage the process of synchronizing local state with a repository in a controlled fashion. Ultimately, if there is a conflict it's not just up to your application to resolve, but also your users. How do you prevent a room from being double booked? You can look at booking patterns and develop an algorithm can be developed that minimizes collisions. But who gets a room if it is double booked? That's probably a phone call or a conversation between employees. ~ p On Mon, Jun 30, 2008 at 10:34 AM, Allen Shaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Allen Shaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> >> >>> ...
