I've been asked to create an closed web application for our field staff. The trouble is is that they are sometimes in areas where there is no cell covereage and therefore no data connection.
Has anyone else had a similar situation and do you have any pointers into solution approaches or apps I should be looking at? My initial thoughts were ... - Somehow create a standalone django app that is the same as the online one and then have it synchronize when it goes back online. Something ala Google Gears / HTML5. But not done anything like this and I'm not sure how complicated the synchronizing would be and I'm reluctant to roll out django installations on loads of laptops. - Use a non-django app which might be a bit lighter, eg MS Access or some sqlite front end and then have that synchronize. Again, similar issues as above, although. - Have them complete a simple spreadsheet when offline which they can upload to the django app and import the data once they get a data connection. - Tell them to keep notes until they get a data connection ... although I think this might get me throttled. It's still early days and I haven't seen any artifacts they currently use or what they were hoping to get out of it, but any pointers would be great.
