That would be quite cool actually, wasn’t something I was thinking of, as was really looking at ways to get our scripts under a source control repo instead. I suppose that functionality already exists for the wiki/posts etc, so would be quite similar.

Thanks for the suggestion regarding the download/tools etc, and I guess that would give us the ability to then commit those before pasting into [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true).

Do you guys provide the non-live versions, a test instance etc? Not something I’d really given much thought to before, apart from when changes were made with css/html, and sometimes they’re not quite right, so again, people are effected.

I did suggest to the person I was talking to from [GameDev.tv](http://GameDev.tv) that they would probably need to contact you directly regarding this, wasn’t sure if you offer that or not, or, if you do, whether the _test_ instance could be linked in such a way that the data is populated from a production instance backup?
