That's not a problem *at all!*  We have a few non-programming tasks;
the only skill required is the ability to think :-)

Thanks for the offer!  We'll see when we're past 50% of the work.  At
least I wouldn't want to take money in advance myself.

I fully agree that this is important and i would really like to fix
it.  I just don't want to stretch the scope of the project, but i'll
keep this in mind when reading code.
...actually, i found the place that is probably responsible for this.
I'll investigate, but before that i have to get back my laptop or set
up my development environment, which may take a day or two.

best,
