Hi Kirubakaran.  We already have some ideas on the Nmap TODO list, and
we can solicit more on the nmap-dev mailing list.  But the ideal
candidates will be experienced enough in networking/nmap/security that
they can identify needs themselves and implement scripts to solve
them.  We'll also have weekly NSE meetings on IRC where we'll
brainstorm script and infrastructure ideas to implement in the coming
week.

We won't be thinking up all the scripts in advance, but taking things
one week at a time.  Still, if you have any clever script ideas,
describe them in your SoC application to increase your acceptance
chances!  And if you actually write any useful scripts (rather than
just describing the idea) in time for your application, tht is an even
bigger plus.

Cheers,
Fyodor
