Hi Martin,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Unfortunately, it's unlikely to matter in practice :-/ GG has been<br>
open sourced at last (the initial license wasn't open enough), and<br>
it's starting to gain adoption. We can only ship a limited amount of<br>
sw on the XO and GG is gathering steam AFAICS. Unless AIR is based on<br>
GG, the slot will be probably taken by GG.<br>
<br>
And it's a good thing too. Google has shown that understands FOSS and<br>
is making some long term bets on it. Adobe... well...<br>

</div>You'll have to be pretty independent (my time is very stretched atm),<br>
but if you jump on the offline moodle forum and we can start a<br>
discussion. Having said that, with time and dedication, you can<br>
probably get the core of it going :-)<br>
<div class="Ih2E3d"></div></blockquote><div><br>Let's wait to see what Bryan from OLE Nepal has in mind in terms of the person he mentioned, and I can certainly help with that. I get the underlying architecture needed... and now understand why you looked into Gears for an offline app...<br>

forum, we had a very long thread between Colin (the architect @ OU)<br>
and myself fleshing out the plan, and what the limits were.<br>
Unfortunately I don't have the link handy :-/<br>
<div></div></blockquote><div><br>Yep read most of the thread and understand the difference... though from a recent conversation with Colin, he seems much more inclined to do something along the lines of Gears and Sqlite now... I'll forward the mail your way so you can have a quick browse...<br>
