[Aurélien Aptel]

Salut,

Paul previously posted on the samba@ mailing list, I've asked him to
post again on samba-technical where more developers lurk. Thanks again
for the interest in the project :)

Sounds good.

You will mostly need python knowledge for this which is relatively easy
to pickup so I wouldn't worry too much about this.

Another possible area to explore once the parsing/filtering thing is
done is add a web UI to smbcmp (additionally to the curses one) so that
web knowledge could be handy. Just a thought.
