I recommend teaching yourself lua and either writing or improving
scripts. There are probably thousando of potentially useful scripts, and
only about 60 written.

A neat idea I had that may or may not be possible is a script that
interacts with filesharing ports (limewire, gnutella, whatever) and
tells you all the information possible. Pulling a list of shared files
would be really cool, if do-able. That's just a random thought, but
scripts are definitely the way to go if you want to help out.
