This task has been assigned to the same task owner for more than two years. Resetting task assignee due to inactivity, to decrease task cookie-licking and to get a slightly more realistic overview of plans. Please feel free to assign this task to yourself again if you still realistically work or plan to work on this task - it would be welcome!

Ladsgroup claimed this task.

Yeah I think so, there are lots of aspects that can be improved or taken into consideration, etc. but the ticket is extremely broad in scope and vague, so I think it's fine to call it done and create a separate ticket for any other improvements (or other user aspects) if needed.
