Small group of people, not worth splitting just yet (and probably forever, I can't imagine text files for accounting going mainstream anytime soon).

This isn't a project of its own, really, so there's no README, I just created a repo after a quick attempt at prodding at the new-ish Google Docs API. Another user on the list mentioned it, and I wrote a script to hit the API and download all the docs in JSON format locally (see *.json files in that directory) and the convert_docs_json_to_markdown.py script is used to convert all of them to their corresponding *.md files without having to use the API. You can just run that, and iterate until the markdown files have the right content if you feel like it. > I've seen it mentioned in another thread and the Python script seems to be > doing the job.
