This seems a bit off-topic. There is no explicit offline support, but
the user is free to save as many local drafts before publishing the
page/document. Local path and document format changes are allowed.
Regarding the menus, it would be great if we could add entries that
could permit editing with XEclipse, XOffice or XOO depending on the
user's system. Unfortunately I don't see how this can be done without
some kind of bowser extensions.
Thanks

Thanks Vincent. Yeap, I've been following this development, but I've not
tried it yet. In fact, I would prefer any option not involving Word.
Word, what for? I know, I know, it could be a quite useful piece of
software, but when writing scientific papers it is arguable its usefulness.
I can easily figure out a much simple tool, a collaborative edition
tool, focused on collaboration. Something like SPAWN
(http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/SPAWN) will be greatly
welcome although I would like to add off-line edition to the "Required
Features" list.
In any case, to have such an alternative will be great. But perhaps it
will greatly rely on the Windows/Mac/Office releases installed on a
given box. But of course I can not day that without testing it!
Cheers,
Ricardo
