Scrivener 2.3 and the Mac App Store - Why the Delay?
UPDATE: Scrivener 2.3.1 is now available on the Mac App Store. We resolved the issues mentioned below and our icon designer worked overtime to get the new, larger icon ready, and Apple hurried 2.3.1 through the review process within a few hours of submitting the updated version. Fingers crossed our App Store users won't have such long delays again and that this was a one off.

Taking Control of Scrivener - New e-Books and an Online Course
One of the main issues with supporting a deep program such as Scrivener is providing enough help and tutorial materials. Although it's relatively straightforward to pick up and start using Scrivener, it can be used in many different ways, and while our tutorial and Help manual are thorough, we're aware it would be really useful to provide some more workflow-oriented tutorials and walkthroughs. To this end, we've already decided to put some time aside after releasing 2.1 (out soon) to write some more tutorials for the Knowledge Base wiki, and to put some more screencasts together.
Scrivener and the Mac App Store
The big Mac-related news of the past week has been the release of the shiny new Mac App Store, which got plonked into the Dock of anybody who upgraded to OS X 10.6.6. Accordingly, we've been receiving a number of enquiries about our plans: some potential customers want to know if we'll be coming to the App Store because they would rather buy from this central app hub; others, and some existing customers, are concerned that we will move to the App Store and stop selling via our own site, as a couple of high-profile apps have done, and about what the ramifications of such a move would be in terms of upgrades.
