  33 ## TODO
  34
  35 * Andrey: Look over 982, and see what needs to be done. Wait for confirmation
  36 on task 1171, but should look at budget-sync program to see how it generates
  37 the individual and grant reports.
  38
  39 * Dmitry: Please have a think about bugs 981, the new sub-task you proposed to
  40 be under 984 (assume full budget of 5500). Don't modify 981, but feel free to
  41 make additional comments.
  42
  43 * Jacob plan out what's required for 1169, and list the necessary tasks (stick
  44 to bare minimum needed to get mmap support and a simple static elf to run).
