Offline web browsing

At the post grad meeting today Jevon spoke about WebML, and one of the lacking areas is that of 'offline browsing', which I guess is becoming increasingly important with our increasing dependence on websites. Chris Double is a developer in NZ that is working for Mozilla in the area of 'offline-enabling' Firefox (in time for FF3 apparently).

The main links that I know of (without going to Google) are:

• Rod Druries blog titled 'Firefox3: Web Apps Game changer'. This is a very nice blog and Rod is pretty much my hero at the moment for his success in the last few years (and for that coming up in the next few years).
• Chris Double's blog titled 'Offline Zimbra with Firefox
• The Dojo Offline Toolkit
• Adobe Apollo

Having not googled for anything, please feel free to post comments with additional sites to visit. And just a heads up, this doesn't have the slightest crossover with my research, but I thought it was cool nonetheless. If you do like this kind of stuff, talk to Jevon.

Oh, isn't it cool the Mozilla is being developed by New Zealanders? Chris Double working on offline support, and I know of Robert O’Callahan who does the rendering engine. Who else is there.....?

Oh, while I'm at it....Planet NZTech is a highly recommended blog to add to your RSS feed reader. It features the blogs of a number of interesting NZ Tech people (which you could never tell from the name :P). It's where I go to learn about what is happening in NZ Tech these days. You might even spot my blog on the list if you look hard enough :-)

Cheers,
