Orwell 0.1 beta 1 released!

Re: WYSIWOD..

Nice idea, and it could be put to good use if implemented well. However, I
often write code or other things (images in GIMP, etc...) with the idea of
What I Create Is Only Temporary Until I've Decided I Really Like It And Then
Save It To Disk. (WICIOTUIDIRLIATSITD).

No. I can't see the acronym catching on either, but that's how I work.
WYSIWOD had better be turnable-offable.
