TPAC/2012/Offline Apps

Offline Apps

There were 46 participants in the session.

The minutes are at: http://www.w3.org/2012/10/31-offline-minutes.html

Chaals agreed to summarise methods for packaging applications, and working with data. Here's something of a start on that:

Packaging:

• appcache (list of URLs to be collected)
• widgets (XML)
• Mozilla app packaging proposal (JSON)
• Chrome app packaging format (JSON)

Data sources:

• file system
• Web Storage
• WebSQL
• IndexedDB
• local URLs in packages
• Get stuff by XHR

(It is sometimes but not always possible to open links too. But that's kind of separate)
