His reply to me is= here:

Hi Rustom,

I c= an certainly help with guidance. I'm about to relocate across much of c= anada and so I won't be able to crack open code very easily.

Aur=E9lien: my apologies I haven't responded. I certainly support y= our effort, just have had some big career/life changes going on.

Reg= ards,
Adrian

a generic exporter could be built upon it.

Is there any interes= t in ignoring it and restart all the work from
scratch?

Yes I agree, no point redoing work unnecessari= ly.=A0 Maybe the optimal solution would be for Aur=E9lien to work with Nico= las and Adrian to minimize useless rework?

Aur=E9lien you now need t= o say what are your preferences in this matter.
