Bert Freudenberg commented on SQ-385:
-------------------------------------

If you are fine with not contacting the server ever if users save locally only, then doing it after the first successful save seems preferable indeed.

If the categories are cached on file then the "last time I checked" can equal the file's time stamp.

> In case unreachable to Squeakland server (not connected because of school's policy for instance), user have bad experience of long wait (>10s in my test environment) before project-info dialog show up everytime even if he doesn't think of saving to squeakland server or tying to show choises for subject/region/target-age.  time-out error is handled gracefully (no error message).
> I believe that setting without connectivity is no special and the default behavior needs improvement.
