I suspect that offline Web application access is something that ZIMBRA already delivers in its latest version. I can't recall which 'AJAX' toolkit they were using.
How many web applications can really maintain functionality without that live connection to the server side logic and data? This is all not to mention the incredible security concerns that arises. This is such a cool idea but it seems that Dojo is following the MS mentality of valuing function over security.In my opinion, anything that gives a web application elevated permissions to my local system/resources is a BAD idea outside the realm of an intranet business application.
Actually... off-line is where it's at. I know that doesn't seem particularly intuitive, but that's the reality. Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, etc. none of them require a live Internet connection. Successful operation of a web based application without Internet access is going to be the hallmark of a successful web app. very, very shortly. It is, after all, the only thing standing between competing directly with Microsoft by making the underlying OS platform irrelevant (..and on the other hand, browser relevance is going to t skyrocket).
