I feel like we have too little diversity in the type and number of ham
contributors.  This rescoring would be a big improvement from our scores from
two years ago and we definitely should do it.

But after 3.3.0 I would like to learn how I can become more involved in order
to revamp the score update process.

* I'd like to learn how to operate the GA.
* I want to continue recruiting other nightly masscheck participants.  I want
to recruit contributors of non-English languages and non-technical users. 
* I am thinking about writing a toolkit (in RPM and DEB packages) that would
make it easier for participants to join masschecks.  The current documented
process is very unclear and confusing, and I want to clean this up as well.

With more diversity in masscheck participants, perhaps we can do complete
rescoring more often than 2 years.
