Otherwise, I doubt I will be able to do anything in that direction. Both because of the lack of experience and having no access to hardware. I'll also take a look at Trac when I get a little bandwidth. That would be great if you could help out with an OS X version. Otherwise, I doubt I will be able to do anything in that direction.

I have several OS X systems here at home. I'm a bit biased towards it having just switched over everything (and using virtualization for Linux and Windows on the same machine). I think using Camino (sort of like K-Meleon) with some modified configuration would probably work and would allow the same HTML backend. I'll look at this, compare to what you've done and get back to you to let you know if it's feasible. By the way, I don't know if you've used it but I've recently been using Trac as an extension to Subversion (it gives a wiki interface and some good visibility and issue tracking that integrates beautifully. It's fairly straightforward to get running (http://trac.edgewall.org/). The site just linked is in fact using Trac itself (which shows some of the power). It's nice because it allows you to have a collaboration environment where you can deal with code issues and talk about design and implementation. Fun stuff. Have a good one!

As far as creating an OS X version, I do see the value, but don't have the ability to do so. I'm mostly a Windows guy with occasional dabbles into Linux. I have basically no experience with OS X and have no access to a Macintosh machine. Also, the current version of the Mission Disk is based off of the <a href="http://theopendisc.com/" rel="nofollow">Open Disk</a> project. Which uses a modified version of the K-Melon browser for the GUI. I would need to do some research to find out if a similar or even the same solution would work on OS X. Thanks for the feedback Andrew.

Looks neat so far. Many missionaries use Windows but I know of a few who are Mac only (it's a growing trend). Since a lot of these tools are cross-platform (or cross-platform alternatives exist) do you think it's of value to create an OS X "flavor" of this tool? You may have mentioned this already elsewhere but it's getting late and I'm lazy. :-) I just took a look at the screenshots and checked out a copy… Looks neat so far.
