well if you are on a windows domain, and the users' home directories are stored on a central server somewhere (common configuration for a domain) then you shouldn't have any problem. user should be able to log in on any machine in the domain and have access to his cached application and data.

I have to imagine that similar features are available in Linux and OS X

Hi,

I'm designing an offline mode for a production web application. The goal is to provide a small and lightweight application in case of a big network failure.

Gears seems to be a good solution because the offline application could be downloaded and updated when using the online application.

My problem is that users are not always using the same computer. Therefore users must use the application online before the failure to download the offline application on the computer used during the failure. The same problem occurs after the failure to publish data, user must use the online application again on the same computer than before.

One solution could be to store local files and db in a common folder on each computer (outside the user profile).

Is it possible with gears ?

Thanks.
