Anyone want to speculate on repair costs?

Since there haven't been any pictures of damage to the lower wing skin, I'm wondering if this wing needs to be partially re-skinned, wouldn't it need to be done in a factory jig, and would Airbus be able to interrupt the production line to do it? And at what cost? What sort of a field repair is necessary to fly it back to Toulouse? Will this aircraft be back in service within a year?
