I am excited to see in this week's OLPC devel mailing that there is
work afoot to use the Google Gears toolkit to make MediaWiki content
browse-able offline.  This could be yet another cool way to make the
WikiEducator content portable and/or deployable.

> 19. Google Gears: SJ spoke to Othman Laraki and Ben Lisbakken of the
> Google Gears project and with Zvi Boshernitzan of Kiva, who are all
> working on making Gears a tool for offline mediawiki browsing. They
> offered help getting Gears integrated into the Browse activity and
> noted that a patch to make Gears work with FF3-minus-extensions has
> already been submitted (for use on a mobile platform) so most of the
> work has been done. Ben will follow up with people working on Browse,
> and will offer a userspace demo for Wikipedia users, as prelude to
> getting offline-reader hooks into MediaWiki proper.
