Planned out the automation roadmap and that's the due date I've set for myself.
The coding itself won't take a whole month, of course, but I think this explains it:
Basically, I've got other stuff to do in the meanwhile and won't really be able to touch this for a while. Since there's a flat cost of an hour (usually more since I end up taking turns afterward) every time I manually run IPL, I'm just going to hold off on that and invest that time elsewhere.
Before anyone asks why I'm not handing this off to someone else to develop (or delegating parts of it): ARand0mPlayer might be helping, but beyond that I don't really have the time to invest in communication/training/coordination/etc. (especially when the return on investment is far from guaranteed). Virtually everyone I'd trust with this project has other, more pressing stuff on their menu as well.
