Custom fields under product Desription

I am currently in the process of upgrading to AC Gold, and I was wondering. How hard would it be to add more fields under product description so I could have more tabs on the product page. I specifically want FAQ, Warranty and Videos.
Thanks

It would be a fair amount of work. You would need to add the 3 extra fields on the Admin Product Page to enter the additional information. (Admin/AddProduct.aspx and Admin/EditProduct.aspx) Those fields would need to contain html to display everything nice so you might want to use the editor for them. Then you would need to add the 3 tabs to the ProductPage.ascx control. And then maybe make a user control for each tab that finds the specific custom field to display in the tab.

You may be able to avoid adding extra fields in admin by using product custom fields, but still you will have to update your product page controls to make use of the custom fields as tabs on the page.

I forgot about the merchant fields in the templates. That would make it easier.

Thank you. Is there anyone interested in taking this on? I have not upgraded yet, so I will be redoing all my products from scratch so I don't care how it is done.
Thanks,
