[development] Google Gears

[Michelle Cox]

Actually, I would love the ability to have my site offline synched easily to 
my site online. There aren't a lot of hotspots in my town, especially at the 
places that have kiddie stuff to keep my son entertained. I made a local 
copy of my site, but it's a PITA to keep it updated so I usually don't 
bother. Something like what has been talked about here would be awesome. Not 
something I'm in a position to help create, though, so it's just a wish on 
my part.
