Hi Nick, it looks like you're preparing yourself well. I think we're
going to try to get all the script ideas on the wiki page, so that
should be the main place to refer to. We haven't yet picked out
"high-priority" scripts from the list. targets-sniffer would be a good
one to begin with--it's got some technical challenges but shouldn't be
much code.
