That would be wonderful. I'll see that the issues are addressed:

No, but I'll see to it that they are.

Correct.

You should, anyway: I'll take care of any problems. I take it something
about these didn't work for you in the past: If that is so, a sentence
or two on what those problems were would be much appreciated.

I'm working on this right now - should be no big problem. A few minor
incompatibilities with our current outline.el need to be addressed, but
I'm working on them.

No; I'll try to get this in.
Won't all happen overnight, but I'm getting to work on it. I very much
appreciate your willingness to help!
