BuddyPress.org

Paul could you help me out, I love your plugin. I have a couple of question:
1- I really need to allow specific users, or roles, or groups, to give awards, where in the code can I accomplish this? I poked around, but with no success. I want to have a class of users that can issue awards.(This is the most important)
2- How is the coursework plugin integration coming? I want an assignment system, and if your plug is going to integrate soon i can wait.
3- Are you planning on creating a class of tasks that repeat automatically? Example: each time a user posts, they get points, without the admin having to set up a hundred tasks?

Thanks a lot for any reply.
