Some of the ideas you mentioned are discussed from time to time and the project will very likely develop in that direction. In principle there are two approaches: 1) Generate output from the client and further process it. 2) Work on the client(s) to make their output better. I think in general the development will drive in the direction of the latter option. That means, e.g. sql 'from the source' and not generated out of the xml report; protocol changes (are underway) to query useful information directly, etc. We have quite some good ideas, but we sure can need more. Please (feel free to) join the irc channel (http://openvas.org/online-chat.html), most developers hang out there during european day time. Good work. -- felix -- Felix Wolfsteller | ++49-541-335 08 3451 | http://www.intevation.de/ PGP Key: 39DE0100 Intevation GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabrück | AG Osnabrück, HR B 18998 Geschäftsführer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner _______________________________________________ Openvas-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
