This week's contest is titled Well-Rounded by Mike Shenk.

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is what we say to you if you get the contest answer.

Well-Rounded Excel File
SAVE to your drive.
OPEN from your drive.
ALLOW permissions

Good luck with the meta and the grid

And NO - just because the contest ends on Ground Hog Day, you don't get to do it over and over and over again until you get it right like in the movie.

Interesting puzzle from Mike that feels a little more Matt-ish.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.
