Dynabec signed a contract earlier on this year with Global in which we agreed to provide these features. They have a by-election coming up, hopefully well after the Quebec Municipal elections Nov. 5th, for which they need this work. Whatever they are charged has to fall in line with this contract.
As far as point 4 is concerned, yes, operational instructions in administrator mode.

We'll have to make i18n part of the rewrite if we think we are going to sell a lot of these things overseas. Let devel know the sales projections for AVTS where the poll workers will be non-English, and we'll set the priority in the rewrite accordingly.

> Note: If we go forward with any special projects under contract for Dynabec, these will have to be resubmitted with each project title. "Dynabec requests" is not an RCR, and the outstanding 3 items will not be coded in concert.
