Hello all,

Status Report #11 of 16


### Accomplishments:

* fixed a parsing bug on the "edit scan" page

* port-range validation, but only a subset of the full Nmap options (simple ranges, enumerations and combining those 
work, but no advanced formatting, i.e. U:53,T:80)

* made the settings file into a template, to use with version control and force configuration on deployment. Rainmap 
won't run until this file is renamed and properly edited

* simplified the "edit scan" page further; we're encouraging users to name a profile, enter their targets and save; 
more advanced options are available but not required

* began deploying/documenting RabbitMQ on the Linode install

* investigated ways in which we can simplify interactions with AMQP libraries, and still deciding between Celery[0] and 
Flopsy[1]. Both are trivial to use from either within Django or a [currently-theoretical] Nmap wrapper. Celery seems to 
be the more mature project and my current pick.


### Priorities:

* administrator interface [delayed]
 * I should note though that a lot of the admin interface is already in place by default, thanks to Django itself. it's 
just not optimized for the kinds of things we need to do with Rainmap [or styled with CSS, currently]

* finish RabbitMQ deployment/documentation

* write the worker program, a Python wrapper that consumes queue messages and runs Nmap

* successfully run a scan, as defined in the web interface [click Run in the UI, do everything on the other end]



Cheers!
