I think it makes sense for Tabby to take on this responsibility if
she has the flexibility in her schedule to do this. Because it is
something that needs to be done repeatedly (at least for a while) to
keep things current, it makes sense for her to do it. Tabby, what do
you think? This will need to be done soon in order for Jun and Tyler
to continue working on ranker.
