1. Does it require in-depth knowledge of Elisp?  (I guess not, but
wanted to ask - I'm not a programmer.)

2. When it should be done?  (I have a negative amount of spare
time now, but a few big commitments of mine finish this or next week.)

3. Is it very much time-consuming?  (More than 4-5 hours might mean I'm
out.)
