As not much is said on the website could you explain some point :
- how do the offline version works ?
- how do it handle conflicts ?
- does it enforce a license like launchpad does for BSD ?

Having used it for gvsig I'm very cautious about web translation : not
being able to work because the website doesn't let you login, because it
is down for an unkown amount of time, because your hotel's wifi is crap,
etc.
