We've had to consider these sorts of things in the accounting app we're working on [tg2], and honestly it's just going to be too much trouble to support offline users, at least with what's currently available. A considerable amount of our calculations occur on the server, so we'd have to rewrite the whole thing to do everything client side via js, thus eliminating the usefulness of a framework like Turbogears altogether.
Our current plan is to try to run our service thru our website 99% of the time, but if users don't always have internet access or are located in a rural area where they can't get adequate connection we'll sell them their own server to run the app on the LAN. Now in the case of someone needing to add a customer or make an invoice, there might be some way to save that to a local db cache until you can connect again, but that's about it...keeping all your data in sync is extremely important when doing this kind of work.
