I'm in a completely different place ($dayjob) than I was when I contributed years ago.  That being said, I support the goal that was suggested--a focus on solving the current PSL challenges.  I don't believe broader goals should be ignored such that a solution is arbitrarily constrained, but they should not get in the way of a simple, reasonable solution to the primary problem.  As an academic researcher, any contributions on my end would be related to that role.
