Well, to be honest, I've never personally been in the content admin 
area, so I'm just passing on the request. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

How difficult will it be to actually implement this? Can it be 
implemented? How do we take it from "partially developed" to "here 
it's fixed up just the way you asked"?

Can we *ask* them if they are too busy? Are you saying that you are 
too busy too? Sorry if I'm being dense, but I'm not really sure what 
you're saying here.

So where do we go from here? Can you figure out how much time it will 
take? Can you work out a plan for implementing these requests? What 
answer should I take back to steering? Will it be you who implements 
the changes or can we ask someone else to pitch in?

Thanks for your help Jeff. I know this might be asking for extra work 
and time from you. So let me know if there's anything I can do to 
make it easier for you.
