In GoNorthWest's excellent document about submitting apps to the app store, Mike, in section 11-b-ii says "Hit the Submit button." It seems that since Apple upgraded to the latest vision of Xcode, this choice now should be "hit the Distribute" button. Again, a trivial matter but when I was first submitting apps, even a little difference like this would have caused me doubt and confusion. And by the way, for those of you just starting out, reading this document is a MUST.

I'll make a change to the document, and get an updated version out soon. Great suggestion, @raveyd. It's gonna be tough keeping up with the changes that Apple rolls out over the years.

To avoid spam, maybe only BT members with over 20 posts could amend it? And have an approval system, so amendments need to be approved by X amount of members before being posted. All semi-automated of course :) like any amendments appear in your user area with a tick box next to them. Just thinking about building the community and taking the strain away from the original guide submitters. Not fair on GoNorthWest and others to have to permanently maintain guides.
