so i saw you mention that you have abandoned one codebase
and begun another? can you point me to the bugtracker
task on which that has been mentioned?

you do know that what you are working on
is not authorised for funding, as it has not been discussed,
planned, evaluated for effort vs benefit, compared to other
much higher priority tasks that are funded?
