Yes I'll try to do that when I find some time. I also plan to publish the code but I still need to put the licence headers before I open the github repository. > Since you are working with jQueryUI, I imagine and will assume in the rest > of this mail that you are or plan on using a wrapper such as Apache Cordova > (PhoneGap) to package the app for mobile platforms. The prototype is using PhoneGap/Cordova for the iPhone/iPad. It uses a special plugin for Offline which I believe exists also for Android but I haven't tested yet. My development is also compatible with Titanium (Web) or MacGap allowing to build a desktop application out of the code. This is also one of the target of such a development. > Couple of random questions/remarks : > - Do you handle authentication with cookies ?

Indeed an OAUTH authentication would make sense but require more work both server side and on the mobile side.

I've used JavaPNS (http://code.google.com/p/javapns/) which was quite simple to send a notification to an iOS device (except getting the Apple Certificates). So I was more going with that. You inform the XWiki Server which pages/spaces you want to track and the wiki will send push notifications when there are changes on these documents. This is more efficient than a pull based notification which requires the app to be active. > - Finally, a project to keep an eye on : http://maker.github.com/** > ratchet/ <http://maker.github.com/ratchet/> Interesting, but I'm not sure I see the advantage of this versus directly using JQuery Mobile Ludovic > > > Jerome > > > On 11/28/2012 02:52 PM, Ludovic Dubost wrote: > >> Hi Cati, >> >> Great proposals that enhances the current UI.
