Well, a few points I mentioned in my original mail don't require any special
effort but clarifications. Can somebody answer those or is it simply not
implemented yet? Also may I suggest to hire some professional in order to get
the few missing parts implemented? Or is there anything one of the foundation
or community members can help with?<br>
