Totally in agreement. This would be a pretty major project even for someone working full-time. Maybe we could prepare now to get Google Summer of Code funding for this? >> * Set the scores to be conservative (see AXB's post) prior to GA >> balancing. Let ZBI and L's float in GA rescoring.

I suspect the auto-balanced scores will be much lower than what you proposed, but given our inability to do a proper apples-to-apples comparison due to the "reuse" issue, combined with our gut feelings that MSPIKE is better than what we observe in masscheck, I would probably manually adjust the scores higher a bit.
