Gears are turning for offline Google Docs editing

It’s almost sad that Zoho is using Google’s own Gears service to allow for offline document editing, but I expect that will change soon. Google Blogoscoped stumbled on to an experimental Google Docs page where Gears appears to be semi-implemented. It’s definitely a work-in-progress at this point and there’s no indication of when such an offline synchronization function would go public, but clearly Google has recognized the need for document editing while disconnected from the cloud.I’ve used Google Docs for my last two published articles, which worked very well, but I’d like the ability to cut the cord with and work offline as needed through Google Gears.
