Gears (formerly called Google Gears) will be part of new Wordpress 2.6. It supports already today other services as Google Docs or Remember The Milk.
Google Reader is another application which benefits already today from Gears Offline caching of data into a database.
Gears is beta software offered by Google to enable offline access to services that normally only are available online. It installs a database engine, based on SQLite, on the client system to cache the data locally. Gears-enabled pages use data from this local cache rather than from the online service. Using Gears, a web application may periodically synchronize the data in the local cache with the online service. If a network connection is not available, the synchronization is deferred until a network connection is established. Thus Gears enables web applications to work even though access to the network service is not present.
Released under the BSD license, Gears is free and open source software.
The new WordPress release 2.6, announced for later august this year, will be able to use Gears. You can have a kind of sneak preview of version 2.6 by visiting the following page: wp.chrisjohnston.org. Chris provides an automatic renewed test side. The password for the user “admin” is “demo”.
