I will need some more guidance (or perhaps a push towards things to look
at or consider) in order to work on either of these. The way NABC works
is opaque for me right now. Until then, I'll try to cut into the less
important features.
I'm not entirely sure six weeks will be enough to bring these two
features to fruition, unless someone (not me!) will work on this full
time.
