Feature development

[Matthew Pickering]

Hello Nikita,

I don't know the answers to your questions but I do know that it's
easier to give help if there is some code to look at. I would suggest
you put a diff up on phab with what you have done so far so that it is
easy for others to give specific comments about where you are stuck.
