I don't have all the answers for that - but your questions are good -
that's the kind of "workflow" that users would have to use. I hope
that the GG code can show a basic "moodle homepage" with a course
listing that shows the cached courses in a distinctive manner.

AIUI, the user only has to get to the initial moodle page, and GG
should take care of the rest.

I'm not saying that this is what Tony's implemented -- I'll review the
code asap -- but that's the kind of workflow that GG seems to support,
and it looks good to me.

What other goal could possibly offline moodle have? ;-)

we're all on the same page wrt that.
