Yes, that is not (yet) my case, but will hopefully be very soon: I have 
almost finished the Task&Skills part of my NM process now, and so i will 
only need as much time as the DAM needs.

I am *much* more knowledgeable than one year and a half ago, when i 
first offered some help. I have not been able to help as of late since i 
don't have upload capability yet. Otherwise, feel free to tell me which 
tasks you need help with.
