Hello Frederick,
it's a while ago that I wrote new nodes. But from time to time I have a look to the forum and I answer questions if possible for me.
At the moment Wayne picked up the ball and is making a great job to extend the NE. James not only shows with impessive things what is possible, he also manage the extensions for the NE.
So is the package from James a good starting point.

Have a nice day
Karsten
