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

There's only one script.
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.

Lots to do:
- contents aren't correct sometimes (compare with real doc, you'll find
lots of differences)
- images aren't inserted, converted
