Hello Deeraj, thanks for introducing yourself. You've already seen the
ideas page, also see these for more information if you haven't already:
        http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/home/google/gsoc2011/nmap
        http://nmap.org/soc/GeneralRequirements.html

You should decide what kind of scripts you want to specialize in: web
scanning, vulnerability/exploitation, or discovery. If you are selected,
you will work with your mentor to make a list of scripts to write. But
in your formal proposal, you should have a list of ideas that match your
skills. You can feel free to share your ideas here so you can get
feedback on them.

That's impressive, to have a project that you maintain yourself.
Previous involvement with open source is also helpful, so remember to
mention this in your formal proposal.
