I've had other pressing matters. In any case. I worked a bit on the patch to make it more suitable for processing. I basically stripped it off the new lines so that there is one record per line.

Dropping the modules may help. However, since no one is touching it, it rather might be there. In the meantime, I should get some time to ramp up with ruby and initiate the port. As for the time, I hope to do this during Hackweek, which should be mid-feb, so a timeframe of May/June 2017 should be good.
