I was seeing some strange output with his spdy branch. Perhaps you, me, @eee-c and @jayunit should hop on IRC and talk things out? Or just get an email chain going. We're using git-scribe for our backbone on rails book and definitely will be improving this toolchain as we continue writing.

Er, @jasonm should join us in IRC :)

Happy to help out however I can. I'm ramping up on another book as well, so I'll be putting more into the tool chain as well. First was going to be syntax highlighting but I don't have to worry about that now - thanks :)

I'm on Ubuntu so that might account for some differences in output.

IIRC the only other major missing feature that I needed for the SPDY book was starting new chapters on the right / recto page for printing. Pragprog (and I assume other publishers) won't do print media without that.
