A few people have suggested getting Google Gears to work on the laptops. The recommended persistence layer currently is pyxpcom. Zvi Boshernitzan started working on a mediawiki reader and thumbwiki implementation in Gears (see gearswiki.theidea.net) that imports mediawiki dumps and runs quite snappily for wikis of up to a few hundred pages. (import and export can be slow still.) What would be needed to make this happen? Do we need to revisit supporting firefox extensions?
A new version of Lector, a browser-based bookreader, is also available -- and something else it would be useful to support. In particular, we should figure out how this could work with the efforts that have been put into a script to chunk long html pages into smaller ones for reading long html-format texts, and in-browser controls and frameless browsing for a bookreader mode (care of IanB and Jerub, respectively).
