* Package name : gears Version : 0.5 Upstream Author : Google * URL : http://gears.google.com/ * License : (BSD) Programming Lang: (Unsure) Description : Gears (formally Google Gears) Gears! Gears is a wonderful piece of software that dramatically increases the functionality of websites. It is free and open source and is a technology that ships integrated in the browser Google chrome. I have been successfully using this technology in Iceweasel and it is fantastic in assisting end-users like me of sites like Gmail and Google Reader in enabling offline access. There are many different applications for this technology and one hopes this will grow in the future. Sites currently augmenting their user experience with Gears include Myspace, Gmail, Google Reader, Google Code, and YouTube. If this were included in Debian, our users would be able to remain on the cutting edge of internet technology and would enjoy a trivial installation procedure. So many internet technologies (such as flash) are proprietrary that I feel we should make every effort to support the success of useful open source ones. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
