A customer was requesting that an offlline client would be built for JIRA. I am not sure how this would work or how conflicts would be resolved but I wanted to capture this request.

We have several projects that can't be moved to Jira because people need to be able to work offline. Not a trivial issue of course...

Exactly the same issue is relevant for us. When we are installing our products around the world it is not always possible to be on-line. In these situations it would be very convenient with an off-line copy that could be used as documentation of already known issues or even introduction of new issues. In the latter case, a synchronization mechanism that could transfer changes and new issues to the main JIRA installation when the off-line copy becomes on-line again is very relevant.

Our users would also appreciate an offline access: when going on site with our software (domain is logistics), we often not yet have a VPN tunnel or similar from the customer's site to our company's intranet.

This is also a important issue for us.
typical scenarios: project reviews, product planing, meeting: You set together and update your JIRA data. With Web based UI this takes imply to much time, an offline editing (i.e. via Excel) would be much better. it is even mandatory.

I wonder how it works inside atlassian?

BTW: Technical Solution is quite easy: Optimistic locking:
E.g. the Excel export includes exact timestamp of "last modified".
The the user would edit the Excel data offline.
JIRA would then offer a "Import Excel" feature, and imports the data only if the "last modified" value in Excel is still the same as in JIRA itself.
(At least that is sufficient for us.)

Excel import would be fantastic. If you had this, I think we could easily adopt this for many projects. Stefan's suggestion above is a great one.
