This will be huge financial data, operational data, etc that is spit out of age-old systems in CSV format. Excellent.

#82How do you have CSV data with a comma within a field?
You use another delimiter if you need commas. CSV isn't comma only (contrary to what the name implies), you could use '!' or anything else.

Steve jobs (who stole it from Picasso, who took it from ?) said "Picasso had a saying -- 'good artists copy; great artists steal' -- and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas." This was later "clarified" by Bud Tribble: "If you take something and make it your own ... it's your design and that is the dividing line between copying and stealing."

>> Steve jobs (who stole it from Picasso, who took it from ?) said "Picasso had a saying -- 'good artists copy; great artists steal' -- and we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas."
That's faintly ironic -- he had too much shame to steal the quote from Picasso. Perhaps he meant that his company employed shameless great artists, not that he was one himself. Steve Jobs has always struck me as a businessman, primarily (which is probably what you want in a CEO, if you owned, say, Apple stock -- not a thief).

#84The explanation of features is one of the best I've seen on the landing page. I didn't even have to hit the documentation to fully understand usage under a variety of conditions/circumstances.
On the other hand, it's a CSV parser so it's fairly easy to explain the features and list all of them (rather than try to select some important ones).

#85I will probably receive flack for this, but am I the only one that thinks it is a little bizarre this much branding and visual design has gone into a CSV parser?

Will the website itself be released under an open license? I could see this website format being useful for a ton of open source projects.
I'd be okay with that, I just hadn't considered it. By format do you mean design or content (or both)? And are you thinking a Creative Commons license?
I meant the design, since the page created such a clear template that would be fantastic for future open source projects to modify. But if you want to release the content in the open too, all the better. I just think that a lot of open source projects which struggle with onboarding would be greatly benefited by using the page as a base.
