There are two parts who need to be developed in this regard:

 1. the network topology parser, which I'd like to build into a separate
    python package, agnostic in respect to nodeshot

 2. the UI

I think it's realistic for me to estimate I will be working on this in
the beginning of 2015.
I, alone, can't do it sooner unfortunately.

Good news.

If I can permit to give a suggestion, I would delay the shipping of new
features or plugins and I would focus first on writing good
documentation and doing extensive testing (and iterative improvement) of
the core, because in my opinion this is what will ultimately encourage
people to use it.
