We compute the degree 3 homology of GL(3,\,\funnyZ)
with coefficients in the module of homogeneous polynomials
in three variables of degree $g$ over \funnyF$_p$, for $g\leq 200$
and $p\leq 541$. The homology has a "boundary part'' and
a "quasicuspidal'' part which we determine.
¶ By conjecture a Hecke eigenclass in the homology has
an attached Galois representation into
GL(3,\,{\mathversion{normal}$\bar{\funnyF}$}$_p$).
The conjecture is proved for the boundary part and explored
experimentally for the quasicuspidal part.
