If you have developed data files with interesting usage patters, or metadata, please consider posting an example (after obscuring important personal information) so that other *ledger users can learn from them. These examples will be tested in all sorts of scenarios; reports, web-display, alternative editors, data-extraction tools. Knowing this, please make your examples as well-formed (complying to ledger-format) as possible, and as large as you dare. Thanks for participating in *ledger development.
