Feature profiles and press blogs

[Nelson Marques]

I am looking for RPM 4.8. Should be accomplished soon, I have a couple
of projects that are almost giving me no rest with research for the
university, but within the next 2 weeks should be accomplished.

The SWOT has been nearly forgotten, but I'm placing a priority on it
soon (within a fortnight).
