Hi,
yeah but i thought the database would handle any conflicts, beside a read only mode is
enough for enterprise environment. It would allow employees to access all the information
needed offline, changes could be code only like XEclipse, which get solved once online
again. E.G. in the company I'm working most of our handbooks, guidelines should get
accessed through XWiki; often employees go to meetings on buildings sites where there is
no internet connection, which means they have to access all the handbooks via filesystem,
which is slow as they need to scroll through a foldersystem with ~1000 guides.
I think here would be the real advantage of an offline XWiki.

Thomas
Well this is not really enough, as this locks you in
read-only mode.
Concerto was meant to provide offline, but you need some additional code
and storage on both the server and the client to run the replication
model.
The replication model is what guarantees solutions to conflicts..
Now conflict are very very rare when you look at the use cases, and a
much simpler replication model which could fail on conflicts would be
probably largely enough for most cases.
Concerto is quite overkill for the simple replication scenario. The
power of Concerto is P2P replication just using a relay network which
does not store anything. But in this world this scenario does not have a
big future.

Yes, XEclipse does need some love. We'll see.
Thanks,
