If there are interested Python hackers among us, I could build that option into the app generator that kicks of each CloudKit project. Regarding the overall progress, this weekend has been excellent. OpenID and OAuth support have returned after breaking when I moved to a faster, lighter Ruby stack. The OAuth bit is especially exciting as a byproduct will be an updated OAuth gem that supports all of the new Rack-based Ruby frameworks (almost everything that isn't Rails, which is already supported). I'm still shooting for a Monday delivery of CloudKit as long as I don't hit any more roadblocks this weekend. @Chris

And, how’s it coming now that it’s five days later?

Thus, the desktop offline state uses the only available solution at the moment, Adobe AIR. (This will change once Gears works with Prism or once I get WebKit wrapped on all platforms with its local SQLite storage.) After the first CloudKit release is out, I will be adding a fourth state, splitting "browser" into "browser online" and "browser offline." The browser offline state could then use Gears if the plugin was detected or local SQLite if HTML5 storage was detected. @Hugh:

If so I'm wondering if CloudKit is going to require the user to have it installed for their browser to use an application while online (since data will be stored locally for a speed bump).
