Advanced Drupal Workflow for Alfred V2

I've been a longtime fan of Alfred App, an award-winning productivity application for Mac OS X.

They've just released Alfred v2 which is re-written from the ground up to be faster, more efficient and easier to use, as a powerpack user of V1 I've been beta testing it for several months now.

Alfred 2 has a new replacement for extensions called workflows and I have written a Drupal workflow that handles the Drupal API integration in a much faster way than the old Version 1 extension.

Setup your own Drupal API reference site

One of the key reasons I was drawn to Drupal as a platform is that it had great developer documentation available. The Drupal API reference site, api.drupal.org, was and is one of my most used resources.

As good as the site is though, if you happen to have a long commute (like myself) or you're just about to jump on a plane to DrupalCon, you aren't always guaranteed to have access to it. So in cases like that you need your own copy.
