I'm accepting opinions! :-D
UmitWeb has no relevant tickets on trac since 0.1-rc1, and these
changes doesn't match with the '0.1' version (it will take great
changes). Then I'm thinking of not releasing a 0.1 version (or release
it with the same contents of 0.1-rc1), and walk through 0.5 version,
and cancel 0.2, due to the magnitude of changing into umitweb.

Note that UmitWeb's user interface will be pratically rebuild from
scratch, and the core needed to be integrated with the umit.core
changes.

There was some ideas that happened to me yesterday, about being more
user-friendly. this way we prevent the user to type the command-line
incorrectly (e.g. type options into 'targets' field, or even trying to
inject some command - I know umit already sanitizes the command, but I
think it would be important also to make it more clear to the user).
It would benefit those who doesn't have too much knowlege with the
nmap command-line interface. I will be clear here: I think the most
part of UmitWeb users will access it from windows machines. And some
of those users would be used to GUI intefaces, not command-line ones.
Constructing the interface like that, we cal push away the feeling of
'must-know nmap command structure' away from the users that doesn't
know how to use the command-line, and also those ones that doesn't
want to use the command line.

I think these modifications sould be considered in Umit Desktop also,
of course with adaptations to the "desktop-development world", e.g.
not using links in 'target' field, etc.

Relax man, I know that. I just wanted to show you what I'd like to
implement. This tool helped a lot, 'cuz you can persist your thought
before them run away :-D
