I don't know where to write a positive comment for all the people that work on it see it so I write it here. I want to say that this software is awesome. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I find it very well done. There was a few feature that I was not understanding the use at first but now I take advantage of most of them. It really helped me organise all my notes for my writing project and helped me to start writing. I like the fact that there is lots of way to organise ideas, plots and world items... but also let writing core things uncluttered. The mix fits very well with me.

There are still some features that I would like to see, but I've seen somewhere that they are already planned (addition of other kind of files like images, etc.) and some other things (like a feature to organise long list of characters. I keep adding minor character in the world tab withing cities of places they live... and some other character in the character tab... it's a bit confusing (but I don't have any useful suggestion for now)), but most of the current version is already great and I wanted to say it.

Thank you for sharing your appreciation.

In addition to code development there are other ways to contribute to Manuskript.

Before anything else I would like to chime in here. Manuskript has turned out to be nothing less than a revelation for multi-level technical writing! Long time ago, I tried to make OpenOffice work with master documents but it turned out to be too unreliable and complicated for me. Manuskript perfectly fulfills my needs. Thank you very much for your efforts, @olivierkes!

As impressive as the program is for something that hasn't yet gone to a major release number, more appreciated is the responses I've gotten from the programming team. They have to be swimming in fixing errors and working on improvements, yet remain patient with even the least well prepared or thought out postings.
