David, you vacated my position as a "project owner", so there is nothing 
to deliver in this capacity. Your wording seems to place me on the hook 
for some work that I am obligated to perform, which I find... strange.

The specific technical questions you raised have answers, but they are 
really gnarly and complex, and require a dialog to fully grasp the 
crucial details. This isn't the thread (nor likely the forum - IRC is 
more suitable) to have such a dialog. Whenever someone steps up to 
actually start working on anything - I will be there with specifics, as 
long as the actual implementor is interested in hearing them.

Additionally as I said elsewhere[1] I still plan to:

This should round up any "loss of knowledge" concerns that the wider 
community could have.

I also must put this in perspective: nobody has done anything even 
remotely similar for any project that I know of, especially in such a 
situation. Let's... ease the pointy questions and the demands?
