This is just a rough list of what I'd like to get started on when I get back to Houston since I've missed most of the Beta Testing for the CU due to working and waiting on my laptop to arrive here. Any volunteered information would be GREATLY appreciated. Note, This is just a Subnopsis of what I want to compile, it is by no means finished as we should be continuously updating it as often as possible. Thanks for the support guys.
Furthermore, If there is something that you think is missing from the profession or had an idea of how to better the profession, you can post a reply if you'd like. Thanks!
