Now, here's a challenge for you Kieran ...

A flashing green light somewhere up near the banner on the main forum page, which indicates that one of the members has a Phoenix PRCAC session up and running, to be updated in real-time! Now that would take some scripting

They don't seem to have a web API for me to piggyback on

I was quite taken with this idea, and spent a bit of time tonight trying a way that's just mad enough to perhaps work...

Using wireshark, captured the UDP stream that Phoenix itself sends when establishing a connection, and made a quick-and-dirty Python script to replay the stream and capture the response back - seem to be able to extract the list of servers/ips/names/etc despite the API itself being entirely opaque.

Kieran, are we able to run a Python script every few minutes (i.e. cron) on the web server? If so, assuming such a script can be made to work reliably, it might be one approach (i.e. get it to output the status/# members flying on the PRCAC field to file every few minutes, and slurp that in to the forum html)
