Hi, thanks for introducing yourself. You should start with these links:
        http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/home/google/gsoc2011/nmap
        http://nmap.org/soc/
        http://nmap.org/soc/GeneralRequirements.html
        http://nmap.org/soc/apply.html

The specific details about the IPv6 task are http://nmap.org/soc/#ipv6.
You should have experience with socket programming and preferably with
raw sockets. Being familiar with Nmap's port-scanning and raw-socket
code in scan_engine.cc and libnetutil/netutil.cc is also a plus. In your
proposal you should elaborate on your network manager experience and
highlight the parts that apply to the IPv6 project.
