Offline access to MoinMoin wiki using Google Gears


How to add offline access functionality to MoinMoin wiki?

As a minimum, I would love to have browsing access to all pages on a server-based wiki (while being offline). Search and other things, which do not modify the content, are secondary. An added bonus would be if this solution allowed to update wiki content while offline and push it back to the wiki when online.

Google Gears looks like a good candidate for trying to solve this, but other solutions are also welcome.

An interesting property of MoinMoin is that it keeps content in regular files instead of the database. This can make it easier to port wiki content from one location to another, but I don't know if that can play any role in answering this question.

Note: if you see a good reply please rate it up. i'd love to do that, but the site does not let me do ratings yet.


Solution

  • By using Gears with the Firefox Greasemonkey plugin, you can inject Gears code into any website that you want. Don't wait for your favorite website to enable offline support -- do it yourself. http://code.google.com/apis/gears/articles/gearsmonkey.html
