Hackathon Points

These are things that should be done around UGCS and their appropriate point value. They are split in two dimensions:

• Requires sysadmin / does not require sysadmin
• Multiple people can do them / only one person can do them. Some items can be done multiple times by multiple people, and everyone gets points. Other things can only be done once. Most of these items, everyone can get points for, but you only get points for doing it once yourself (unless otherwise noted)
