Whimsy attempts to store many things locally, and has an offline mode where you can do most work completely offline for a while, then commit everything later. In normal use, most approvals/comments are all cached for later commit together. Submitting new reports or agenda items works live; when you post, it attempts the SVN update immediately. If someone has updated the board/agenda page while SVN is up, then can keep reading the locally cached and parsed agenda, and approve or make comments. But they won't be able to check them in, or submit updates to project reports while the svn server is down. Unfortunately the error message when attempting to 'refresh' a previously loaded agenda is not very helpful: it brings up a browser dialog (Chrome/Mac) that says this (just tried it right now): Exception #<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory @rb_sysopen - /tmp/<temp path name>/board_agenda_2019_10_16.txt> -- - Shane Director & Member The Apache Software Foundation
