 Bob frequently goes on trips where he has no Internet access.  A lot of his work depends on reading wikis and other reference websites, (e.g. wikipedia, company sun java documentation, etc).   So, it would be helpful to guarantee certain websites' availability in the cache for offline browsing.
 * Basic Idea
-** Be able to manually "check" pages so that they get placed into a special section of cache that doesn't get evicted (see Slogger extension below)
+** Be able to manually "check" pages so that they get placed into a special section of cache that doesn't get evicted
 ** Be able to automatically use regular expressions to filter URIs accessed through the browser so as to decide whether it merits the special no-eviction status
 * No-Evict Cache Management
 ** Give an option for keeping track of different versions of the page based on access date
 ** Implement a [http://infolab.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html backrub] (e.g. google) searching algorithm through the local cache and history, based on how the linked pages in the cache relates to each other; also see more ideas [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Feature_Brainstorming:History#History_search here]
-=== 'Diff' cached and current version ===
-* While visiting some "permanently cached" page (either while in 'offline' or 'online' mode), give options such as 'emphasize changes'
-* Possible scenario and UI: Bob is browsing in "soft-offline" mode. He returns to a page that he visited (and "hard-cached") yesterday. In statusbar appears info that he is viewing yesterdays version of the page, and available options "refresh to current version" (optionally "show older cached versions", "number of visits" aso.).  After refreshing, give possibility to highlight changes.
-* Watch for changes automatically
-=== Shared cache ===
-* Give browser ability to "seed" back cached data in a (let's say) "p2p" way.
-=== References ===
-* [http://www.kenschutte.com/slogger/ Slogger extension] - can save complete visited pages and make advanced browse-logs.
-* [https://addons.mozilla.org/cs/firefox/addon/3362 Update Scanner extension] - can automatically check for changes and highlight them
