welcome to OpenVAS :-)
You are now registered for the contest.

I just released the OpenVAS Compendium 0.2.0 (see openvas-announce
mailing list) which summarizes also some developer information.
Online version is here:

this would be nice. French is indeed missing.
However, the central focus of the contest is about NVTs.

Cool.
Currently there is a lot going on.
Best is you drop a message on openvas-plugins mailing list which
specific CVE/software detection/whatever you are going to work on.

This is again not in the central focus of the Contest.
However, I already moved my mind around a web application.
Python came to my mind as well, not cherry though.
IMHO, before we should start on a web application we should
settle OTP 1.0 protocol.

All the best
