I've been working for the past three months on an Umbraco project. Deployment has been quite cumbersome. I wrote 20 to 30 pages of release notes per two/three week development period. So I am investigating ways in which we can make deployment easier.
Courier seems like a nice solution, but I would like to know how Courier compares nodes between environments. If it uses node ids we might run into trouble, because our production environment is constantly changing (there is a full time web editor who creates new content on a daily basis) and our development environment is constantly changing as well, because we are constantly developing and creating new nodes, macro's and types. I think it is almost impossible to keep node ids synced between environments.
Can Courier deal with such changes on both environments?
Each node has a unique identifier (guid) and that one is used to transfer data back and forth, not the id (that would cause serious headaches amonst developers)
Is Courier a good solution for us?

Ok, thanks. In that case we are going to try it for our next project.
