I can pop in and say that I've got known running on a VPS instance, not a particularly powerful one either. 1GB memory overhead, never comes close to maxing it out. If I'd been smart I could have shoved the mysql db onto an external host and reduced the memory overhead still further.

That sounds like an incredible good idea -- I haven't played around with that concept at all, but it is certainly interesting.

My clients never get to mess with my stuff. Woe betide those faithless, dissolute souls…

Hmm. Depends what you mean by versioning? Its more to have a record in my own systems of the hash value of the PDF which left my desk. I have, on more than one occasion, been faced with an altered PDF of what I've prepared.

I always use md as my canonical copy. Mind you, I never use .docx at all. I convert .md to .pdf, then I append the md5 hash value of the generated .pdf to the markdown file.
Clients/colleagues only get the .pdf files, and I have my canonical version.

well, I'm glad that automattic's crappy design decisions are making somebody some money. Course, they're also costing someone money.

I wish I could offer you something more on the other front though. Fwiw, you're making a top notch product, so much so that I'm proud to be a user.

I love ❤ editorial for its taskpaper functions as well. Incidentally, there's an editorial workflow that gives it more Dropbox functionality than just the /Apps/Editorial folder. Bit of a kerfuffle to set it up, but it's worth it (ime, ymmv) Gives me interoperability with my Keyboard Maestro setups.

Not to go pointing fingers, but Lennart is an asshat of the first magnitude. He's like the reverse Midas: everything he touches turns into an overwrought steaming pile of bloat.
