I'm new to python development, but would like to extend the SSN grep plugin or 
write a new SSN plugin that would allow w3af to parse PDFs and xls spreadsheets 
for SSNs.  

where is the best place to find documentation for developing for w3af?  
(specifically how to write a plugin)

I've attempted to clone the ssn grep plugin and modify the code.  Thus far I've 
been able to get my modified plugin to load in w3af, but it is not functioning 
as I had hoped.  I expect it is a lack of my understanding as to how to 
correctly code a plugin.  I have some example python code working that will 
parse both PDFs and XLS spreadsheets on the filesystem looking for SSNs, but 
would like to turn this into a w3af plugin.

Thanks in advance for any help pointing me in the right direction
