It may be necromancy, but the dead forum we’re raising has always been pretty ace, so I reckon all ahead full

Personally, I also think it’s sensible to resurrect a thread if the topic is still relevant rather than try to work out the context in a new thread (especially when there aren’t so many people about…).
As for your actual questions, @Lotus, I think your list is pretty fair, and others more learnèd than I could be far more helpful! As sad as it is to direct someone off the forum, have you asked around any of the Facebook groups?
