add more parameters to the project goals message

Also, write the code to automatically ping on a regular cadence, but don't yet schedule it.

I'm not sure how I would schedule it! Probably a good idea to land this first without an automatic schedule and run it manually for a bit. But I'd like to know where in the code I have to go.

To have an idea on where to touch to add a scheduled cronjob, you can have a look at a recent patch where I removed a scheduled job (and do the opposite 🙂 ). The interesting code is all in ./src/jobs.rs, in your handler you have to impl Job and add a name() and a run().

I don't remember offhand if I ever understood the machinery to manually trigger a job. Maybe creating a small binary in ./src/bin to run the Job?

Not sure if it's surprising to me or not that we don't already have a CLI parser.
