Began reviewing posts in these mailing lists on a daily basis.

Setup my svn development environment with
    SVN mkdir and copy on serverside.
    Checked out svn branch.
Compiled code from tar ball; stable and dev.
Compiling code from svn checkout.  (In process right now.)

Looked into a sample script documentation write up. - Going to need
input from community. :)

Checked out bug report: http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2012/q1/62
Looks like we are not doing a resend when we get a tcp reset on an http request.

Reviewing documentation on nmap with an eye to making a study outline
for myself and others.

Reviewed some web sites regarding Lua scripting language.       

Reviewing source code for nmap.

Downloaded Clang static analyzer, compiled it and am currently testing
its capabilities.  Planning to use it on my own code, the nmap code
base, and the ntp code base.

Had meeting with Fyodo on Friday 2pm utc-4 in gtalk, irc, and ncat.
I had not known that ncat could do that.

Set up weekly meetings on Mondays at 4pm utc-4  in Gtalk.  Since we
had the first meeting on 27 March we are skipping the firt meeting on
Monday and having the first regularly scheduled gtalk meeting on the
7th of May.
