I'm not sure if this qualifies as real data or not - it's not a research
paper - but I recently re-mixed the present pandoc workflow, the hg-novice
lesson content, and SWC layout to produce a full-day version control
workshop for the Canadian MEOPAR Network of Centres of Excellence (meopar.ca).
Content is at <http://douglatornell.ca/training/meopeers-2015-06-15/> and
repo is at <https://bitbucket.org/43ravens/meopeers-2015-06-15>. I would
still have re-mixed the lesson content, but I doubt that I would have used
the workflow if it had been jeykll/kramdown/gh-pages, and having to create
a different workflow would have cost me a bunch more time. I see value in
the more generic pandoc workflow.
