You can look in the file docs/TODO for all the things that we want done.

I have a Zenmap bug that might be good for someone getting started. When
you scan localhost, the Topology shows two localhost nodes connected by
a line. The code always puts localhost as a black dot in the center, and
considers the "other" localhost as just another host. The host
information should be stored in the central dot instead, so that for
example you can get host information by clicking on it with the "Show
information" button.
