I was offline for about 3 days solid, less than a week ago. No Internet access at all, despite having a charged mobile phone with me at the time. I have made Fossil repo commits from inside an RV, miles from the nearest wifi. I expect to have no Internet access in the plane I will be aboard shortly. > In case you really need some help while offline, I cannot imagine how you'd > be able to get a request for help out better via mail than dropping off a > forum post when you're offline. What of the other direction? People like Jörg are more likely to be answering questions than asking them. Why not write answers while offline, then sync the answers when back on-network? Email lists, Usenet, and my proposed Fossil Forum Feature allow this. Web forums generally do not. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
