Is there any way I can legally read the standards document without paying the prohibitive fee?

recommend homebrew cask too, but there's also http://getmacapps.com for the slightly less power user...kind of like a GUI for homebrew cask

Sounds like you had success at the trade shows, I'm about to embark on that route too. Can I ask how you went getting the word out at the shows, and any tips converting to a sale? Did they mind that it was still an MVP?

I've built a less "hacker" way to automate the install of a bunch of common apps at http://getmacapps.com

Aiming for something you can easily use quickly, or send to less techy friends or parents to run.

I'm interested in the "Version control for data" feature. How does that work? I have data that is still changing in both content and structure. As the test suite grows, it is becoming a burden to maintain every time there is a change to the data. It would be great to be able to write tests against snapshots of the database, and be able to rollback to a different point for each test seamlessly.

Very cool tool. Signed up to the list, and keen to see how the service can simplify the data viz process.

Interesting to hear your experience. I'm wondering which library you switched to and how's the experience been with the two separate libraries?

Working in an industry where Manuals and Policy/Procedure documents dictate, I would also love this.

Eg. in the heavily regulated airline industry, Framemaker still persists as standard. Changes are typically made against a PDF as comments (handwritten or PDF annotations), attached to a paper "Manual Change Request" form and signed by manual owner and passed to a Tech Writer to replicate the change in Framemaker. Turnarounds in order of months are incurred, and where the regulator is involved, I have seen years.

A Git-style version control workflow would work well: - allowing collaboration - change documentation and approval is built in (even better if regulator can use it) - publishing smaller amendments while larger ones develop - reuse modules across manuals (eg. org charts)

However, uptake will occur when the learning curve is reduced...such as a well designed web UI

Thanks omgmog, really good to hear your thoughts.

Cool script, it would definitely be useful to support your "Install all firefoxes script", possibly in a collapsable developers section.

Good ideas. I'll definitely be adding links/descriptions if the site gets any sort of traction.
