From time to time, as I have availability, I will work on this.

I've already added some preliminary structure to this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1COv2WWKYm5Y-WUmnNuygnSxFbUNT2R7_z46Z-UKBEpQ/edit?usp=sharing.

When I’m ready for the first review, I’ll let you know. However, I definitely don’t want this to drag on until next year. (But we'll see about that! 🤪)
