And more HS experiment successes

So far this has been a 4 out of 4 experiments all with success all with 12-24 hrs TAT

1. blogger -> github blog conversion (data entry)
2. csv generation for blog (python)
3. convert eclipse project to mavem
4. travis-ci integration (the most recent one - https://github.com/ogt/contractor-recommendations/pull/4)

They have involved 3 folks - (3 and 4 ) had the same people.

By now I get almost all candidates with all questions answered.


Still Issues:
 - I may need to ask people to do a final merge before submitting their pull request - to enable automatic merge
 - people still are bidding 11% on top of the budget
 - Inviting of people that have successsfully done jobs with related skills in the past creates a practical guaranteed success. They know the drill.
 - It makes sense to correct publicly people so as people can understand what they should do better the next time.
 - Compiling a directory of prior jobs, prior people that have done things seems useful.
