I don't use the supplied modules (Math, List, etc.), but load libraries (Email, Excel, Plist, SFTP, etc.) that I've written to meet my needs. A change to any library gets more-or-less instantly propogated everywhere it's needed. Of course, there are other methods of doing library loading, but I've found AppleMods to be the easiest and most most reliable. It was just updated late in 2010.
Is this a website or a product?
> Another boost in efficiency comes from the use of a source-code repository. (It's a folder structure organized by client and job, NOT something like Subversion, Git, or darcs.) All scripts are stored as text files (with .applescript extension). A utility script creates the job folder and template files for each new script. When a script has been changed, I run another utility script that reads a script-specific .plist file for instructions and saves the finished file with the desired format, name, and location.
I'm a huge fan of SVN and the app called Versions (http://versionsapp.com) for the client to SVN. I had some friends spend the time to teach me how to set up the server on the Mac and then I wrote a nice little "how to" document for setting up an SVN server on the Mac. I'll look for it when I get home.
