hi Ron,

i dont know lua, but i m ready to teach myself lua.
and i hv no previous experience with scripts as well.

i know c/c++ but i hv never done any scripting in that.
and i m a rookie in python.

Your idea is cool. :)
i like it.
But do u think that if i start learning lua, and scripts, frm right now,
 will i be in a position to prepare a strong application for gsoc?
networking+gsoc are my top priorities right now. and when i read about
nmap i got fascinated with it. i m a quick learner and learning basic
stuffs of lua will not take me more than 10 days.

I read somewhere that nmap was written in c/c++.

Greetings.

Lua is easy, I just learned it as I went along.

I don't know anything about Summer of Code, other than the basic
concept, so no comment on that.

Nmap is indeed written in c/c++, but you don't need to interact directly
with them to write scripts.

Ron
