As promised, I've gotten my blog up (apologies for the default
template), and latest post is about a plan for building an offline
Blogger editor with Gears and GWT:

I welcome all feedback, either here or in the comments there.
Particularly BobV and DanM, though it'd be great to hear from Ray,
Jason, & darn near everyone.  Bob, when and where do you expect to
land your bean-generator example?

I have to juggle this with finishing up and landing the JSF / GWT
integration code, and baby's due at end of July, but no reason to not
get the ball rolling!
