I could whine here about the advocacy on the mailing-list---as you already
know, I don't care much for it. I'm a pragmatist. I have no qualms about
using a superior product even if it is built and maintained by a
corporation. (Plus, I think Google is an awesome company with a genuine
respect for user privacy.)

But let me not do that and instead turn your bottomless energy into a
productive channel: as soon as I find some free time I'll download all the
exported formats from Google Docs for each of the docs under well organized
naming and place them somewhere you can access and download them. If you
can build some way to automatically convert from any combination of those
into Markdown format that would process and look really nice under Sphinx
processing, I'll be happy to hook that conversion routine into the API
calls and make /that/ an official mirror of the documentation. After all,
there's nothing quite like scratching your own itch.

Sounds like a deal?
