Hello Kris,

First of all, I'm not UMIT project admin but I'm participating as a
SoC student in UMIT.

It doesn't happen here (but that was using my branch).

That README is more like a "INSTALL" for now. If you test "a not SVN
version" of UMIT, you will see that button Help won't open anything so
Help still needs to be done.

nse_facilitator in umit is another SoC student project, he will be
doing this part.

Uhm, there are some xml test files and I opened then in UMIT and I saw
Closed different than 0. If you can send some xml file it would be
good. Those results are parsed from xml output.

Yeh =) UMIT runs nmap in background with subprocess, but this could be
fixed too of course.

If you have some spare time you could write these bugs in umit
bugtracker at sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=142490&atid=752647

I don't know if UMIT members follows this list (I wasn't following
too, but I woke up and decided to take a look in this list), that is
why I answered. It is good to know more people is using and testing
UMIT =)

You're welcome to test my branch too ;)

Thanks.
