With all the sites being discovered - and the hope that that will eventually lead us to something significant (although I must remind everyone that the
sheer number of these sites is significant on its own) - for those who feel alienated by, or unable to participate in, the whole decoding thing, we should consider there might be other weird things which are new:
1) The wreck sites themselves might not have given up all their secrets yet
1a) With the new flowership behaviour (buzzing SRVs at wreck sites) there might be other new interactions
2) Rechecking barnacle sites for anything new
3) With the Guardians mission now able to be completed legitimately, perhaps there's something else around that which is new
3a) We've seen Guardian tech illicit a response from the unknown device - what about unknown objects giving a different result at a Guardian site?
4) More space-based discoveries to be made - e.g. Gen ships or Fed wrecks
5) Maia/other Pleiades related weirdness?
6) The fungus farms out in California Nebula - any developments there?
I'm sure there are many more things to consider, too.
Either way - there's something that can be done by everyone of all levels of ability/motivation - and while this might be the biggest new thing right now, it's entirely possible it could be acting as a smokescreen for other, less 'obvious' things
