--- Comment #8 from Brett Zamir <[email protected]> --- Thank you for your informative response. Yes, it surely is beyond a simple feature request!, and though your existing positive immediate and realistic initiatives are of course most appreciated by us in the community, and I do not at all wish for this proposal to detract from them, my feeling is that having some long-term, even if tentative vision spelled out with potential broad lines of action (such as your mention of exploration of IndexedDB) might help momentum could eventually be built, and excite contributors or would-be contributors with the cherished possibilities of the team. While IndexedDB, for example, might not prove optimal, I think it is hard to dispute that such an integrated offlineable web app system would be more ideal, and that obstacles ought to at least be EVENTUALLY surmountable, if not via IndexedDB than some other technology (but it really appears Mozilla, Microsoft, and all the browsers are planning to go this route). In addition to the IndexedDB benchmarking goal, I also would think that the first proposed step (of caching manifests) would be a very practical step to explore now, as they can allow "offline" caching only for non-dynamic application files--not for content. One would not even need to declare all possible cacheable files immediately in the caching manifest since the proposed immediate-term goal would be optimization of performance and would not be used yet for genuine offline functionality. Thank you for all your hard work on what is already such a preeminently ambitious and successful system. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
