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? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
