  51 ## TODO
  52
  53 * Andrey: Look over 982, and see what needs to be done. Wait for confirmation
  54 on task 1171, but should look at budget-sync program to see how it generates
  55 the individual and grant reports.
  56
  57 * Dmitry: Please have a think about bugs 981, the new sub-task you proposed to
  58 be under 984 (assume full budget of 5500). Don't modify 981, but feel free to
  59 make additional comments.
  60
  61 * Jacob plan out what's required for 1169, and list the necessary tasks (stick
  62 to bare minimum needed to get mmap support and a simple static elf to run).
